Cowboys promote QB Kellen Moore to active roster

With Tony Romo out for the foreseeable future on IR-Boomerang, the Cowboys needed a quarterback to back up former backup Brandon Weeden. It appears they've found one in their own organization.

Dallas is bringing up quarterback Kellen Moore from the practice squad, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported. The Cowboys have had multiple quarterbacks in for workouts since Sunday night, but have chosen to go with Moore.

Rapoport added that free agents Matt Flynn, Josh Johnson, Christian Ponder and McLeod Bethel-Thompson all had workouts with the Cowboys, but were passed up for the former Boise State standout.
