I would rather see green back there for kick returns than punt returns. Please god, don't put him back there to return punts again.

I gotta think Skyler Green is going to get the 1st opportunity and I hope he takes advantage of it. We spent a 4th rounder on him mainly because of his return ability.

As for 3rd RB duties, is Kincade still on the practice squad? Or has Skyler picked up enough of the RB position to contribute if injuries happened?

Aaron Glenn replaced Tyson last night and he probably will continue the duties. Also Abram Elam ( the backup safety) also is an option. Remember we still have Skyler Green on the practice squad or they can always sign a from the street. hell I'll do it for the veteran min.

per the DMN blog:

Parcells said Tyson Thompson is probably out for the season with a broken ankle. The Cowboys may look outside for Thompson's replacement, but Parcells said Skyler Green is an internal candidate. Thompson has had some nice moments this season and the Cowboys will definitely miss him. Parcells didn't say much about the fact that Thompson was hit out of bounds on the play. "Things happen that are unfortunate," he said...

Green is on the active roster. Has been for several weeks now.

Good point, although I think Green already is on the active roster and not the PS...just hasn't been active the past couple games.

Thompson out for rest of season

By RICK HERRIN
Star-Telegram Staff Writer

IRVING - Cowboys running back/kick returner Tyson Thompson will have surgery on his broken left ankle and miss the rest of the season.

Bill Parcells said the Cowboys will look into possibly signing a returner to replace Thompson.

Veteran Aaron Glenn filled in for Thompson against Carolina and had one return for 14 yards. The Cowboys beat Carolina 35-14 Sunday night.

Thompson, of Irving, suffered the injury on a first-quarter return when he was tackled out of bounds after a 37-yard return and the play drew an unnecessary roughness penalty. Thompson had two returns in the game for a 33.5 average.

Entering the Carolina game, Thompson was third in the NFC and ninth in the NFL in klckoff returns.

i think it will depend on if they put tt on the ir. if they think he can be back by the last couple of games then i keep him on the roster and go with green and glenn. if he can't be back then we may go outside to find a good return guy.

its a bummer cause TT was leading the NFC in kickoff returns.. its goes unnoticed cause he never breaks the big one, and a lot of people complain about us not getting any return TDs.. but I would take someone consistently putting our offense at the 30-35 yard line any day.. I'm not gonna dramatize it and make it seem like it is gonna kill our team, but losing him will in fact hurt us a little.. whoever replaces him isn't likely to lead the NFC in kickoff returns..

Bill said a couple of years ago that he didn't like tall angular guys returning kick offs. He preferred the shorter, stockier players in that role. That would count out Hurd. Green is the obvious choice since he can also serve as the 3rd string back as well.

he's going on IR -- no way you keep TT on the roster for just 2 games.

I was just saying Green is on the active roster already. We just haven't been suiting him up for recent games. To go back to the PS we would have to waive him again I believe.
