IRVING, Texas – The Cowboys have filled the empty roster spot with cornerback LeQuan Lewis, who was signed off the Jets practice squad.
Lewis will likely contribute immediately on special teams, meaning he should be active for Sunday’s game with the Seahawks.
His addition probably doesn’t affect the status of Mike Jenkins, who has been practicing the last 10 days with a shoulder injury that kept him out all of the offseason. Jenkins said this week he not only expects to but is “anxious” to play.

Cowboys announced they have signed LeQuan Lewis CB Arizona St to 53 man roster today. Lewis has a nice shot to be a core special teams guy.

Nice job by @CowgirlCas22 who had Lewis' name this morning in a tweet on my timeline. Have to say that is pretty impressive. Well done.

Couldn't be worse than Frank Walker, right?

He's taking Colin Cochart's place on the 53 man roster. Played his college ball at ASU. Should be announced soon. He had been on the Jets PS. Is expected to help us on Special Teams in particular.

What????, WOW!!!!, Why????

Obviously they think Costa is going to come around sooner rather than later.

Yeah, and they thought the same thing in Week One and that lasted all of one play.

I hope they are basing that decision on sound medical evidence rather than daffodils and unicorns.

Given the numerous issues they've had at that spot, I can't help but feel they continue to 'push their luck'.

I don't see where this guy is going to contribute considering what we already have at that spot in addition to Jenkins returning.

After watching Leon Washington almost singlehandedly keep the Seahawks in the game last week thanks to his returns, I welcome all the special team aces we can get.

This. He is the secret weapon this week against a great returner!

Expect Jerry and Jason to do this on a weekly basis based on need. Keep churning!

I agree. If Lewis can show himself as a special teams stud then it helps shore up another area where we need to get better. I know some overlook special teams but it can make a big difference in the game

Never heard of this kid.....

Didnt sound good that he was cut by some bad teams.....

Oh well.....keep churning the bottom of that roster...

Cole Beasley likely gets a gameday inactivation. Beasley only played in 4 offensive snaps last week according to PFF (I have trouble finding that many) and played in none of the special teams units. Hard to justify a game day activation with 4 total snaps. Especially when Ogletree has cemented the #3 job, and with two other backup WRs are almost assured game day activations thanks to playing in all four special teams unit.

In the meantime, another special team member was probably going to get inactivated this week with Jenkins taking Mario Butler's activation. Butler was in the Punt Return, Kickoff Coverage and Kickoff Return units last week. I'm not sure Jenkins has ever played special teams.

Good sign, except for the fact he played ball at ASU...blech...

Disappointing.

I was hoping for a backup center seeing as we currently don't have one.

Sure -- but are you really going to bring in a backup center off someone's practice squad who can't do anything here for weeks? If there was someone we liked at C, I expect he'd be here. I think right now the plan is to hope Costa gets better and that Cook stays healthy. We've got 5 more game until Kowalski can come off PuP as well.

Do you have a source for who is one those ST units? I've been looking for something like that for a while.

Do you think Rob srewed over Rex, or did Rex help Rob with inside info? How does that work?

I think Cook clearly showed that if you find the right guy, they can contribute quickly.

That definitely seems like the plan, but given the number of issues we've had at that position, I'm a bit concerned that we're not doing more there.

Loading up on DBs...pretty impressive. They're not taking any chances like last year
