Sewo Olonilua: Waived by Dallas

The Cowboys waived Olonilua (neck) on Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Olonilua sustained a neck injury during last preseason's Hall of Fame Game between the Cowboys and Steelers and was ruled out for the remainder of the season after being placed on injured reserve. The injury couldn't have come at a worst time for the fullback, who was expected to garner a sizable role during the preseason and had a good chance of making the roster with a solid showing. Olonilua was poised to compete for a roster spot again this season after declaring his rehab was going well, but the Cowboys will instead stick with Nick Ralston -- who made four appearances in 2021 -- as their top fullback heading into training camp.
