Cowboys to work out Christian Ponder, Josh Johnson

The Dallas Cowboys are desperate for quarterback help with Tony Romo out for an extended period of time with a broken collarbone, and they are looking for depth.

According to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s Charean Williams, the Cowboys will work out Christian Ponder and Josh Johnson on Tuesday. She also says the team will work out Sacramento State product McLeod Bethel-Thompson.

The Cowboys also reached out to veteran Jason Campbell, but he decided to remain retired. Kyle Orton, who was with the Cowboys from 2012-2013, is not a realistic possibility because of his poor relationship with the team and Tony Romo.
