The Cowboys have cut nose tackle Tim Anderson.

Anderson was signed on Jan. 26 after sitting out last season following four seasons with Buffalo and Atlanta. His chances of making the team took a hit when he suffered a toe injury during the off-season conditioning program that required surgery. He missed all of the OTAs and mini-camp as well as the first week of training camp.

In his second practice he sprained his left ankle but he played in the preseason opener against Oakland and was not credited with a tackle.

With Anderson gone, the Cowboys have Junior Siavii and Jonas Seawright as the backups behind Jay Ratliff.

Brewster signed, Anderson off PUP list

The Cowboys signed tackle Robert Brewster today, so now all their draft picks are signed for the season. Now obviously Brewster is hurt, so it’s not like he’s coming back anytime soon (was placed on the physically unable to perform list, too). Defensive back Jerome Carter was cut earlier today to make room for Brewster.

Meanwhile, defensive tackle Tim Anderson passed his physical day and is now off the PUP list. He practiced this morning, and coach Wade Phillips said in his afternoon press conference that Anderson will just do one practice a day until he’s up and running at full speed.
