The Dallas Cowboys have released a cornerback who started seven games this season to create roster space for a running back elevated from the practice squad, according to a report from Cowboys Wire.
The transaction, reported Wednesday, November 11, 2026, reflects the team's ongoing roster management as they navigate injuries and depth needs at the running back position. The identity of the released cornerback and the promoted running back were not specified in the initial report by Todd Brock.
Such moves are common in the NFL as teams adjust their 53-man rosters week to week based on game plans, health, and performance. The Cowboys' decision to part with a regular starter in the secondary suggests a pressing need for backfield depth.
