FRISCO, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys are expected to sign linebacker Rashaan Evans to the practice squad after a workout Wednesday, a source told ESPN.

The move gives the Cowboys a chance to fill the vacancy that will be created when linebacker Leighton Vander Esch is moved to injured reserve because of the neck injury he suffered in the fourth quarter of last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Vander Esch was diagnosed with a neck strain and the move to injured reserve would knock him out for at least the next four games, but sources indicated he is looking at a four- to six-week rehab period.
