The Cowboys added some veteran help at safety on Tuesday by signing Eric Frampton.
A five-year veteran who has spent the majority of his career with the Vikings, Frampton should be ready to provide some depth to a unit hurt by injuries. The latest is starting SS Barry Church, who underwent successful surgery on Tuesday for a torn Achilles injury. Church will head to IR to make room for Frampton.
Gerald Sensabaugh missed last week’s game with a calf strain but should return and Danny McCray is expected to start once again, but he’s considered the team’s top special teams player. With Devin Hester and the Bears coming in this week, McCray's role could be shifted back to special teams. Rookie Matt Johnson is dealing with a hamstring and back injury, which leaves only Mana Silva as a healthy backup safety.
Frampton has 76 career games played, but he's never started. He began his career in 2007 with the Lions before joining the Vikings halfway through the season. He did play all 16 games for the Vikings in 2008, 2009 and 2011 and had two forced fumbles during the 2009 season.
