Bass

Bass was promoted from the practice squad a little over two weeks ago. The rookie out of Texas A&M recorded one tackle in his two games on the active roster.

Bass takes the roster spot of Kenyon Coleman (triceps), who is out for the season. Undrafted out of Texas A&M, Bass showed a high motor in training camp. He will add depth up front.

And another Dallas defensive lineman bites the dust. After an impressive training camp, Bass was going to be a rotational run stuffer and special teamer. The Cowboys signed Jerome Long to replace him on the 53-man roster.

The 2012 undrafted free agent was slated to see time at both end and tackle along the Cowboys’ injury-ravaged defensive line. Per beat writer Calvin Watkins, Bass could need the whole four weeks to recover, making him unlikely to take the field in September. The Cowboys have incredibly little D-line depth.

The teams are simply exchanging end-of-roster talents. A 2012 undrafted free agent, Bass spent 2013 on injured reserve with a shoulder ailment, and has yet to practice this summer thanks to a hamstring issue. He’s most likely ticketed for the practice squad if he can get healthy.

A 2012 undrafted free agent, Bass was acquired from the Cowboys earlier this month, but didn’t show enough in his two weeks on the roster. A sixth-round rookie, Thomas isn’t a candidate for the practice squad after failing to survive until final cuts.
