The Cowboys made their fourth player acquisition in four days on Tuesday, trading for former Arena League defensive end Caesar Rayford from the Indianapolis Colts.
It could be a sign of how unsure the Cowboys are about Anthony Spencer being able to play on Sunday in the season opener against the Giants. Spencer has been out since July 25 following knee surgery, which the team thought would require two to four weeks of recovery. Friday will mark the end of six weeks since the surgery.
Rayford, who will take the 53rd and final spot on the roster, went undrafted out of Washington in 2008 and spent the last four years in the Arena Football League, where he had 28.5 sacks with the Utah Blaze. The 6-foot-7, 245-pound end signed with the Colts in May and had a team-high five sacks, four tackle for loss and five quarterback hits in preseason. He also had two forced fumbles.
Since Saturday, the Cowboys have traded for defensive end Edgar Jones, claimed linebacker Kyle Bosworth off waivers and traded away tight end Dante Rosario.
