In another sign that starting quarterback Jon Kitna will be unavaible for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, the Dallas Cowboys today promoted veteran quarterback Chris Greisen from the practice squad to the active roster.
To clear a spot for Greisen, the Cowboys put speical-teams captain Sam Hurd on the injured-reserve list. Hurd incurred a head injury during the Christmas-night loss at Arizona.
Greisen last appeared in an NFL game with Arizona on Dec. 10, 2000. He will backup Stephen McGee, expected to make his first NFL start.
Greisen is a football vagabond. He has played in NFL Europe, the Arena Football League, the United Football League and af2.
