Rossum released; CB Gordon re-signed

[TheSport78]

According to Josh Ellis from official website...

I think it's safe to say everyone saw this coming.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I thought Rossum was already released. I was wondering what happened to him. I know he got hurt but wasn't sure if he was already released or what.

He was rehabbing from a hamstring injury on his first and only kickoff for us. I guess Jerry wanted to wait till he was healthy so they didn't have to reach an injury settlement?

Thanks for your one return Rossum

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Rossom might be back though...

The Cowboys have released return specialist Allen Rossum and signed cornerback Cletis Gordon.

Rossum's return home did not go as planned. He returned one kickoff for 14 yards and suffered a hamstring injury that kept him on the sideline for the last month.

Gordon was with the Cowboys for one game earlier this year before his release. His signing was necessary because of the injury to safety Ken Hamlin forced Alan Ball in the lineup, weakening the cornerback spot.

Cletis Gordon-DB- Cowboys Nov. 23 - 1:17 pm et


Cowboys re-signed CB Cletis Gordon.

Dallas is thin because Alan Ball has taken over as the club's starting free safety with Ken Hamlin (high ankle sprain) out indefinitely. Gordon, 26, knows Wade Phillips' scheme and can immediately step in as a dime corner.

Tony Romo-QB- Cowboys Nov. 23 - 1:10 pm et


Tony Romo is fully expected to start on Thanksgiving against Oakland despite suffering a back injury in Week 11.

Beat writer Todd Archer speculates that Romo could be limited in practice early this week, but the Cowboys probably won't prepare Jon Kitna to play. Romo may have to take a pain-killing injection before the game, but he'll start.

Rossum released? Hopefully this doesn't make Crayton turn back into a pumpkin.

This is news worthy?

This is news worthy?

some fans were wondering what cb the cowboys would sign wiht jenkins possibly hurt;

 

[Hoofbite]

Hated the Rossum signing from the start. Not enough room for multiple guys who only do 1 thing a couple times per game.

Surprised they have signed a dedicated FG holder.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Rossum the Possum got the axe and we brought back Cletis the CB.

Sometimes you just gotta laugh. Not being mean here just the idea of getting a guy, he plays one down and he is gone and also the idea of signing a CB named Cletis not once but twice.

Hoofbite, main thing with rossum signing was how rossum helped crayton on returning punts. Remember crayton said so and demarcus ware also said that rossum helped him some on defensive plays, etc.

 

[Word Mofo]

So is this a sign Jenkins is hurt more than we think? We are looking mighty thin at CB if Jenkins is out. Also, can he use Dave Campo to demonstrate a jam technique like Terence Newman?

Sigh.....

For ****s and giggles, where did Ware say that.

No..its for depth where a corner already knows the scheme.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Awesome. Every team needs a Cletis.

Looks like Ball is a full-time safety now.

 

[juck]

Cletis should start just so we can here his name.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Amen.

I mean, we have a Cletis and an Igor. I dare any team to top that.

 

[malbis030347]

Oh no, Crayton again.....fair catch mania here we go again!
