Cowboys put cornerback Morris Claiborne on injured list, sign linebacker from practice squad
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Dallas Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne was put on injured reserve Saturday, four days after season-ending knee surgery.
Dallas signed linebacker Keith Smith from its practice squad, and he is likely to play in his second game this season Sunday against Houston.
Claiborne, the third-year defensive back, injured his knee in the first quarter of last Sunday's 38-21 home victory over the New Orleans Saints. He was the sixth overall pick in the 2012 draft.
