The Cowboys stood pat at the trade deadline, but they did announce a pair of transactions Tuesday.
Dallas waived defensive end Bradlee Anae.
The 2020 fifth-round draft pick appeared in four games this season, seeing action on 50 defensive snaps and 50 on special teams.
Anae’s offsides penalty on a punt allowed Minnesota to keep the ball, and the Vikings got a field goal out of the drive.
“Get the football, and that’s a bad penalty,” special teams coach John Fassel said, via Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News. “That’s a bad penalty. Fourth-and-five, and, you know, it’s just a bad penalty.”
The Cowboys also placed rookie linebacker Jabril Cox on injured reserve. The fourth-round choice tore his ACL on Sunday.
The Cowboys have three open spots on their 53-player roster. Receiver Michael Gallup is among the Cowboys eligible to return from injured reserve.
Dallas currently has 12 players on injured reserve.
