Kellen Moore has been waived by the Dallas Cowboys.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the move came late Tuesday afternoon. If the quarterback clears waivers, he can sign back with the team's practice squad.

The transaction was possibly made to make room for quarterback Tony Romo who is expected to be activated from the short-term IR next week. The Cowboys currently have two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster — Matt Cassel and Brandon Weeden. Another possibility, per ESPN's Todd Archer, is for the Cowboys to activate linebacker Mark Nzeocha from the NFI.

Moore came over from the Lions in September. He spent three seasons in Detroit serving as the team's third-string quarterback after going undrafted out of Boise State in 2012.

Moore hasn't recorded a snap in the regular season, but has received preseason playing time. Moore ended the 2015 preseason going 29-47 for 254 yards and one touchdown with one interception.

Before the NFL, Moore had an illustrious career for the Boise State Broncos. He went 50-3 during his time in Idaho and was named an All-American twice. Moore threw for a total of 14,667 yards and 142 touchdowns in his four-year career with the Broncos.
