After losing tight end John Phillips for the season, the Dallas Cowboys have signed tight end DajLeon Farr, Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com reports. To make room for Farr, the Cowboys have "waived/injured" tight end Kevin Brock. Farr (6-5, 256) played for the University of Miami for three seasons before transferring to Memphis in 2008. During his 41-game career, Farr caught 24 passes for 210 yards and 4 touchdowns, and signed with the San Diego Chargers as an undrafted free agent in April. The Cowboys are not going to make a roster move with Phillips until they can safely place him on injured reserve. Source: Mac's Football Blog
The loss of Phillips is gonna bite us in the butt later on in the season. I believe Bennett isn't gonna be worth a damn this year, so Witten better not get injured. I have never heard of this dude, but I trust the scouting department has. Let's hope he pans out?
Yeah, he did. However, because of the concussion he has, and the short week, I don't know if he plays on Thursday night against the Raiders.
Bennett won't play tonight because of his ankle, and Sicko won't play because of his concussion, so that leaves Witten and Farr as the only healthy TEs the Cowboys have. In practice this week, G Pat McQuistan appeared in unbalanced-line formations as a TE, and FB Chris Gronkowski ran some plays as an H-back.
