The Dallas Cowboys are making habit of the mad, last-minute roster scramble they did prior to Week 2. Earlier in the week the club released WR Dennis Houston, but the team failed to make a corresponding move. That is, until Monday when several hours before they hit the field they added veteran lineman Jason Peters to the 53-man roster. The club has held Peters out for the first two games, but the offensive line needs him, and he will finally see some NFL action, even if in limited capacity.
The Cowboys have been using their practice squad elevations wisely over the first two weeks of the season and nothing changes there in Week 3. With a Monday night date with in Gotham, Dallas has once again used the rules to keep their backup QB off the roster until game day, as Will Grier is one of the club’s two allowed activations for the contest. The other player to be activated is TE Sean McKeon, as a bit of tight end insurance. Here’s a look at the 55 players eligible to be activated Monday night.
