DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The Dallas Cowboys have been one of the more unlucky teams in terms of injuries so far this season, especially on the defensive side of the football.

On Thursday, they made a move that will bring in some key reinforcements, just in time for their critical matchup against the Washington Football Team.

That transaction, which sends wideout Noah Brown to injured reserve, will hurt their depth at wide receiver, where the Cowboys have also struggled with availability this season.

More importantly, however, it clears the way for defensive linemen Randy Gregory and Neville Gallimore to be activated back onto the roster, following an extended absence for both players.

Gregory, who last played in the Cowboys loss to the Denver Broncos, was suffering from a calf injury.

Gallimore, meanwhile, has missed the entire regular season to this point after an elbow injury that he suffered during the preseason.

The Cowboys and the Washington Football will face off a noon central time on Sunday, most likely, with Gregory and Gallimore in tow.
