EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Josh Brent’s 2014 debut with the Dallas Cowboys will have to wait at least another week.

The defensive tackle is inactive for Sunday night’s game against the New York Giants. Brent was added to the 53-man roster during the bye week and has practiced for the last month, but the Cowboys do not feel the need -- nor have the spot -- on the gameday roster.

Terrell McClain is also inactive, which means defensive end Jack Crawford will continue to split time at end and tackle.

Quarterback Dustin Vaughan, tackle Tony Hills, tackle Donald Hawkins, cornerback Tyler Patmon and safety Jakar Hamilton are also inactive.

Anthony Hitchens will start at weakside linebacker with Rolando McClain returning to the lineup.
