IRVING, TEXAS (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys have released injured fullback Deon Anderson to make room for tight end Scott Chandler from the practice squad.
The move Friday comes about a week after Anderson had surgery on his left knee to repair a torn meniscus. The fourth-year pro played in 38 games, including 18 starts, in his first three seasons.
Anderson’s replacement, rookie Chris Gronkowski, scored a touchdown last week against Chicago.
