The Patriots and Cowboys struck a deal Tuesday, with defensive back Justin Green heading to Dallas in exchange for defensive tackle Ben Bass.
The Cowboys are shorthanded at the cornerback position after Orlando Scandrick received a four-game suspension Monday. Green, who was a rookie free agent last season, spent time on the New England practice squad as well as two games on the active roster. Bass spent all of last season on injured reserve but got into two games during his rookie season in 2012.
