Charles Tapper to undergo surgery for fractured foot, opens spot for David Irving

The Dallas Cowboys no longer have to wonder about finding a roster spot for defensive end David Irving, who will return for Sunday’s game against the Green Packers after missing the first four weeks under NFL suspension for using a banned supplement.

But it is time to wonder about the future of injury-riddled defensive end Charles Tapper, who missed all of last season with a back injury and is now facing surgery for a fractured foot.

Tapper suffered the injury in practice Wednesday, saying that he fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot as he wore a walking boot out of the locker room.
