  • Cowboys' Justin Durant: Let go by Dallas

    The Cowboys released Durant on Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Durant was set to become a free agent after the season and had been a backup player for the Cowboys, so the team decided to cut the veteran loose in order to clear a spot for practice-squad linebacker Tre'Von Johnson. It's unlikely that Durant will sign elsewhere before the campaign concludes, so he'll get an early start on the offseason as he looks to find a new home in 2018.

  • Cowboys' Justin Durant: Puts in full practice

    Durant (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

  • Cowboys' Justin Durant: Remains out for Week 15

    Durant (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Durant was able to put in a pair of full practices this week, but it appears he failed to receive clearance from an independent neurologist, which would have enabled him to return to game action. Until Durant passes that final hurdle in the concussion protocol, he won't be eligible to appear in any contests.

    Durant has missed the Cowboys' previous two games while dealing concussion-like symptoms. His full workload at Thursday's practice indicates he'll likely be ready to go for Week 15 against the Raiders, but the Cowboys have yet to officially confirm he has cleared concussion protocol.

  • Cowboys' Justin Durant: Full practice participant

    Durant (groin) practiced without limitations Wednesday and is in line to play Sunday against the Chiefs.

    Durant is ready for his first action since Week 6 against the Packers. However, the Cowboys' linebacker corps is at full health, so Durant is likely to play most of his snaps on special teams.

  • Cowboys' Justin Durant: Will not play Sunday

    Durant (groin) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Redskins, Kate Hairopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Durant will miss his second consecutive game. However, since Sean Lee (hamstring) is back in the lineup, Durant will be deployed sparingly on the defensive side of the ball when he's healthy.

  • Cowboys' Justin Durant: Questionable versus Redskins

    Durant (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins.

    Durant was limited in practice this week after missing his first game of the season in Week 7. The 32-year-old will likely be a game-day decision, but he'd mostly serve in a reserve capacity with the Cowboy's starting linebackers currently at full health.

  • Cowboys' Justin Durant: Inactive for Sunday

    Durant (groin) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Durant will miss his first game of the season, but he was likely to see a decrease in his snap count since Sean Lee (hamstring) is fully healthy again. He'll now focus his attention on getting ready for a divisional matchup in Week 9 against the Redskins.

  • Cowboys' Justin Durant: Questionable for Week 7

    Durant was limited by a groin injury in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Durant was a late addition to the injury report after practicing in limited fashion Friday. The 32-year-old typically serves as a reserve linebacker, but the Cowboys linebacking corps is otherwise at full health at this point.

  • Cowboys' Justin Durant: Likely starter at middle linebacker in Week 1

    Durant is expected to start at middle linebacker in Week 1 with Anthony Hitchens (knee) out for the first half of the season, David Helman of DallasCowboys.com reports.

    Both Durant and Jaylon Smith will see action in the middle, but the Cowboys don't intend on accelerating Smith's recovery plan from the nerve damage in his knee, which will keep him on a limited snap count to begin the year. Durant likely will handle the bulk of the action on running downs, while Smith slots in primarily on nickel packages, and the timeshare should make both very risky IDP plays as they cut into each other's fantasy value.

  • Cowboys' Justin Durant: Passes physical

    Durant (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday after passing his physical, Rob Phillips of DallasCowboys.com reports.

    Durant began training camp on the Non-Football Injury list with an undisclosed issue. The veteran played in 13 games for the team last season, totaling 37 tackles and three passes defensed in the process. He projects to provide depth at linebacker heading into the season.

  • Cowboys' Justin Durant: Sitting out HOF Game

    Durant (undisclosed) will not play in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game, Jon Machota of the Dallas News reports.

    Durant's impending absence comes as little surprise given his placement on the NFI list. Fellow reserves Darnell Leslie and John Lotulelei should take on added snaps in his stead.

  • Cowboys' Justin Durant: Lands on NFI list

    Durant (undisclosed) was placed on the NFI list on Saturday, ESPN's Todd Archer reports.

    It isn't clear as to what sort of injury Durant is dealing with. Since he was re-signed just two days ago, it may have been a pre-existing condition. His return date isn't certain.

  • Cowboys' Justin Durant: Signed by Dallas

    Durant was signed by the Cowboys on Thursday, David Helman of DallasCowboys.com reports.

    Durant, a 31-year-old journeyman, appeared in 13 games with the Cowboys last year as he notched 37 tackles, one sack and three passes defensed. The veteran linebacker will likely fill a similar depth role once again in 2017, while the team was forced to release cornerback Jeremiah McKinnon as a result of Durant's addition to the defensive unit. Durant is capable of playing all three spots at linebacker, which may be necessary with Jaylon Smith and Mark Nzeocha still recovering from knee injuries and Damien Wilson potentially facing a suspension.
