The Cowboys made a flurry of roster moves on Saturday, including the activation of rookie defensive end Marshawn Kneeland<\/a><\/strong> and veteran offensive tackle Chuma Edoga<\/a><\/strong> from injured reserve, per a team announcement.<\/p>\n

Kneeland, the 56th overall pick in April\u2019s draft, was designated for return on Wednesday<\/a> after recovering from surgery on a partially-torn lateral meniscus<\/a>. Edoga has been ramping up in practice for a few weeks<\/a> after a preseason toe injury sidelined him<\/a> for the Cowboys\u2019 first 10 games.<\/p>\n

Neither player is expected to start for the Cowboys on Sunday, but they will provide depth on the edge of the trenches on either side of the ball. Kneeland is still hunting for his first career sack at defensive end, while Edoga is likely to serve as a swing tackle behind Tyler Guyton<\/a><\/strong> and Terence Steele<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To make room on their 53-man roster, the Cowboys placed safety Markquese Bell<\/a><\/strong> on injured reserve and waived defensive end K.J. Henry<\/a><\/strong>. Bell had to undergo shoulder surgery after a Week 11 injury, while Henry became surplus to requirements with Kneeland\u2019s return.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys also ruled out All-Pro guard Zack Martin<\/a> <\/strong>with 2023 undrafted free agent T.J. Bass<\/a><\/strong> likely starting in his place. Dallas is also swapping out one All-Pro cornerback for another with Trevon Diggs<\/a><\/strong> ruled out and DaRon Bland<\/a><\/strong> expected to make his season debut after recovering from a setback from his foot surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

More to come.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
