Cowboys activate tackle Tank Johnson - USATODAY.com

Quote:

Tank Johnson was activated by the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, after completing an eight-game suspension, and is set to play his first game with his new team.

Coach Wade Phillips said Johnson had been added to the 53-man roster and would play Sunday for the NFC East-leading Cowboys (7-1) at the New York Giants. Johnson had been on the reserve-suspended list since Sept. 19, the day after he signed a two-year deal with Dallas.

"He will be part of our rotation," Phillips said. "I think he'll help us."

Johnson wasn't available for comment Monday after Phillips gave the players the day off. The Cowboys were coming off a 38-17 victory at Philadelphia on Sunday night.

Dallas made room on its roster by placing rookie fullback Deon Anderson on injured reserve with a torn right rotator cuff. Anderson got an MRI on Monday. He got hurt early in the second half against the Eagles, but finished the game.

He'll give Jay some much needed snaps off. IMO his real value will be in 2008 as a DE

Who does he replace though? Or does he rotate with Spears or Canty?

Good question. If we get a young, real NT in the draft (which we ****ing better) than we would have a serious logjam at DE with Canty, Spears, Ratliff, Hatcher, and Tank.

Most likley one will get traded. Probobly Canty or Spears

That'd be a smart idea. We could use some more picks or a higher pick.
