Cowboys re-sign Robinson for WR depth, cut CB McCann

IRVING, Texas -- With Miles Austin and Dez Bryant hurting, the Dallas Cowboys re-signed wide receiver Laurent Robinson on Tuesday.

On NFL Network
"NFL Replay" will re-air the Dallas Cowboys' 27-24 OT win over the San Francisco  49ers on Tuesday, Sept. 20

at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Robinson has 89 catches for 1,000 yards and four touchdowns over two seasons with the Atlanta Falcons and two with the St. Louis Rams.

The Cowboys signed Robinson before their opener against the New York Jets. He was hurt in practice and didn't play, then was cut last week.

Cornerback-kick returner Bryan McCann was released to clear a spot for Robinson.

Dallas plays undefeated Washington at home on Monday night. The Cowboys have so many injured players that they elected not to work out Wednesday.

Austin left the Cowboys' previous game when he aggravated a hamstring injury, and Bryant missed the game with a thigh problem.
