[FONT=verdana,geneva]You just knew the Cowboys had to add someone to their depleted linebacker corps. [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,geneva]With Justin Rogers waived/injured on Thursday, Brandon Williams (torn ACL) going to IR soon and Stephen Hodge not expected to play because of a nagging knee injury, the Cowboys are getting rather thin at linebacker. [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,geneva]An no, DeMarcus Ware can’t play the whole game in the preseason. [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,geneva]So the Cowboys have added some help with a familiar face, signing Tearrius George, who went to training camp with the team last year and spent 12 weeks on the practice squad, before New Orleans claimed him last December. [/FONT]

George finished the year with the Saints but was released and spent some time this summer with the Dolphins before being cut. [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,geneva]He can play outside linebacker in the 3-4 scheme and should get the chance to compete for a backup spot. Last year, he had 12 tackles in the preseason for the Cowboys, and led the squad in sacks with two.[/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,geneva]George has also spent time with the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL. He was a teammate of Terence Newman at Kansas State. [/FONT]
[FONT=verdana,geneva]With the addition of George, the Cowboys officially have 77 players on the active roster. They must trim that down to 75 after Saturday’s game with the 49ers. But that should be easy, considering that rookies Robert Brewster (torn pec) and Williams will be eligible to go to IR.[/FONT]
