FRISCO, Texas -- The Cowboys have activated defensive end David Irving to the 53-man roster in order for him to play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

The Cowboys had a one-game exemption since he was coming back from a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Irving replaces Charles Tapper on the roster. Tapper was placed on injured reserve Thursday after suffering a broken bone in his foot in Wednesday's practice.

Irving practiced for the first time Wednesday. During his suspension he was not allowed to have any contact with the team.

He was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after last year's regular-season meeting against the Packers, recording a sack and forcing three fumbles in the Cowboys' win at Lambeau Field.

Ok another good rusher in the rotation. That should help. Always looking for a favorable matchup and this adds to the probabilities adding a good player to the mix.

Just for the record, the officials better call holding penalties against the cheese heads.

I'm glad to have him back. If he is sitting on the bench though so that we can "Get Taco going" I am probably going to stroke out. You will see the paramedics carring me out of the stands.

Yeah we can at least agree on that point! Lol

They do hold, but they are the best pass blocking group in the league IMO. At least last year they were.
