With Kellen Moore set for surgery on his broken right fibula Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones would not rule out the team holding a roster spot for the backup quarterback.
Moore is looking at a recovery period of three to four months depending on the surgery.
The Cowboys, who are looking for a veteran backup, could place Moore on season-ending injured reserve. It is possible he could go on the short-term injured reserve list but that would require the Cowboys to carry him on the roster until they cut down to the 53-man roster.
Nick Foles, who was recently with the Rams, has been a popular name as of late. Other sources said the Cowboys haven't ruled out trading for another QB.
