Cowboys owner Jerry Jones confirmed to reporters that backup QB Kellen Moore sustained a broken leg. Jones later clarified that it could be a fractured ankle.

Cowboys backup QB Kellen Moore had his ankle rolled up on and had to be carted to the locker room during Tuesday’s practice.

Ian Rapoport reports that Moore had an air cast placed on his injured ankle, which could be an indication that he sustained a broken ankle.

This will almost certainly lead to speculation of the Cowboys possibly signing Nick Foles, as Dallas was tossed out as a potential landing spot last week after he was released by the Rams.

Fourth-round pick Dak Prescott took over for Moore, and figures to be team’s No. 2 quarterback for at least the time being.

Moore, 27, originally signed on with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Boise State back in Detroit waived Moore at the start of last season, but he later signed on to the Cowboys’ practice squad.

In 2015, Moore appeared in three games for the Cowboys and completed 58.7 percent of his passes for 779 yards receiving to go along with four touchdowns and six interceptions.
