The possibility of Cowboys defensive tackle Jay Ratliff ending up on the reserve/PUP list has become a certainty.
The Cowboys have shifted Ratliff over to the regular-season version of the designation, which means he’ll be out for at least the first six weeks of the regular season. He’ll be eligible to return to practice from Week Six through Week 11; once he does, the team has three weeks to put him on the active roster or shut him down for the season.
The Cowboys also placed center Ryan Cook and defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford on injured reserve, and they released the following players: receiver Anthony Amos, tight end Colin Cochart, guard Dennis Godfrey, receiver Jared Green, linebacker Deon Lacey, kicker Brett Maher, receiver Eric Rogers, quarterback Nick Stephens, and cornerback Brandon Underwood.
