Cowboys claimed linebacker Justin Rogers off waivers from New England and cornerback Evan Oglesby off waivers from Baltimore
Two additions
The Cowboys claimed linebacker Justin Rogers off waivers from New England and cornerback Evan Oglesby off waivers from Baltimore. To make room, they cut safety Abram Elam and Alan Ball.
Rogers played at SMU and was making a switch from college defensive end to outside linebacker in the Patriots' 3-4 scheme. He had two sacks in the preseason and the Patriots wanted to put him on their practice squad. With Greg Ellis' injury, he might be needed in the opener vs. the Giants.
Oglesby spent parts of the previous two seasons with Baltimore, playing in 19 games.
Cutting Elam is a difficult choice because he is an excellent special teams player. Ball could be brought back to the practice squad if he clears waivers.
