SAN DIEGO -- The Cowboys have two roster spots open after waiving safety Justin Taplin-Ross on Sunday.

Taplin-Ross did not play on Saturday's 28-20 loss to San Diego and was far down the depth chart. With his departure and the cutting of running back Ed Wesley on Friday, the Cowboys have 88 players on the roster entering Monday's practice against the Chargers.

The Cowboys do not have any immediate plans to fill the roster spots. Linebacker Isaiah Greenhouse, who has a broken thumb, is not with the team but has not been cut.
