Cowboys promoted DE Jason Vega from their practice squad. 26-year-old Vega is a 6-foot-4, 255-pound defensive end. His promotion confirms the Cowboys expect to be without DeMarcus Ware (quad) against Philly.

Cowboys signed DE Jason Vega. Vega, a former difference-maker for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the CFL, was released by the Patriots on Tuesday after suffering a knee injury in the second preseason game. He might just be a camp body until tackle Jay Ratliff (hamstring, groin) gets back in practice.
