For the second straight week the Cowboys have done the 54-man roster shuffle by calling up running back Chauncey Washington from the practice squad.

The Cowboys cut center Duke Preston to make room for Washington. The Cowboys are on the hook for Preston's base salary as a vested veteran for the rest of the season but hope to re-sign him next week. Despite being cut Preston will be paid for the week.

Washington made one special teams tackle last week at Denver before he was cut on Monday.

To make room for Washington last week the Cowboys cut safety Marvin White in hopes of re-signing him but he was claimed off waivers by Detroit.

With Felix Jones out for the second straight game with a knee injury and Marion Barber still troubled by a quadriceps injury, the Cowboys need Washington in case of emergency.

Hmm... They must not be feeling very good about Barber and/or Felix's injury.

Why on earth do we need to promote a player who can already practice with the team to the 53 man roster during our bye week?

I must lack the "football GM" gene in my DNA.

Is the DMN Blog suffering from the flu and having issues?

It was a review of what Dallas did last week, Preston was cut last week, he hasn't been signed back yet so Washington was signed last week from the 53 man roster to be activated for last weeks game as the backup

That's from last week with a new date.

We immediately resigned Duke Preston on Monday following the game.

Chauncey Washington is back on the practice squad.

That's from last week with a new date.

That's what I figured must have happened.

Whats up with that Joe?

Sorry for the confusion on a couple of posts not too long ago.

We have the ability to post blogs via BlackBerry and two posts that were sent Saturday were finally added to the site tonight ... four days later. Obviously, something went haywire and we think we have fixed the problem.

So, Chauncey Washington is back on the practice squad and Duke Preston is on the 53-man roster.

I had the exact same question. Players supposedly get this weekend off, so you'd think that if a move needed to be made, it would be made early next week.

Oops...read the rest of the responses AFTER I posted this.

Good to see that they realised they screwed up and posted something that isn't relevant to this week.
