IRVING, Texas, Sept. 30 (UPI) -- The Dallas Cowboys have placed tight end Dan Campbell on injured reserve because of a foot injury.
Campbell, who is out for the season, hurt his right foot in Monday night's 21-18 win at Washington.
On its Web site, the team said Campbell needs surgery to repair torn ligaments in the top of his foot.
The Cowboys also lost starting right cornerback Pete Hunter, who also needs season-ending surgery and will be placed on injured reserve. Hunter suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee.
"It's tough, but that's the way it is for everyone right now," Coach Bill Parcells told the Dallas Morning News, referring to the recent of wave of injuries running through the NFL. "We're looking for players. I'm actually looking for guys that can help. But that's just the way it is. You have to do the best you can."
The Cowboys did not practice Wednesday, but worked out two free agents, tight end Mikhael Ricks and cornerback Tyrone Williams, as possible replacements.
