Basham (thigh) was activated off injured reserve Wednesday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

After returning to practice Oct. 20, Basham will be back on the field for Sunday's matchup with the Packers. The 28-year-old will be active for the first time since sustaining a thigh injury in the Cowboys' Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers. Basham will operate as an additional depth option behind the likes of DeMarcus Lawrence and Dorance Armstrong on the defensive line.
