Cowboys ‘Explored’ Signing CB Kenny Moore Off Eagles’ Practice Squad

The Dallas Cowboys explored signing veteran slot cornerback Kenny Moore from the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. In response, Philadelphia promoted Moore to its active roster on Tuesday to prevent their NFC East rival from acquiring him. Dallas sought secondary reinforcement amid a 1-2 start and significant early defensive struggles.

Injuries at safety prompted the Cowboys' interest, as signing Moore would have allowed versatile rookie Caleb Downs to play more safety. Dallas currently has P.J. Locke on injured reserve, Malik Hooker sidelined with a broken forearm, and Jalen Thompson also facing an injured reserve stint.
