Matt Stewart News

Needing another running back, the Dallas Cowboys moved Chauncey Washington up to the 53-man roster on Saturday and are likely to have him active Sunday against the Denver Broncos.

On a roster littered with linebackers, Matt Stewart hasn't exactly stood out during the Cowboys' training camp.

Wide receiver Isaiah Stanback and veteran linebacker Matt Stewart were among 22 players released as part of the Dallas Cowboys' "cut-down day" maneuvers on Saturday.

Let's be honest: The preseason finale won't be pretty football. Vikings coach Brad Childress has already said his starters won't play.

DALLAS, TX: With all the injuries, that one roster spot for a long snapper is vital.

IRVING, Texas - Here is the Cowboys' biggest problem, short of having injuries currently wiping out half their 2009 12-man draft squad: They aren't perfect.

The Cowboys defensive depth took a big hit in Saturday night's 20-13 preseason loss to the San Francisco 49ers when three players left the game with injury, most notably rookie safety Mike Hamlin, who suffered a broken wrist and will miss six weeks, he said.

Thin at outside linebacker after losing rookie Brandon Williams for the season to a knee injury, the Cowboys signed Tearrius George, who spent part of last season on the practice squad and was released by Miami earlier this week.

It's hard to tell at this point whether the Cowboys wish they had Greg Ellis back, but at a time like this they certainly could use him.

When the Cowboys signed L.P. Ladouceur as their long snapper back in 2005, part of it had to do with where they were.

In L.P. Ladouceur the Cowboys have one of the best long snappers in the NFL. But he doesn't play another position.
