Cowboys cut Tim Anderson

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.
