33 Deante Burton DB

The Cowboys placed Burton (shoulder) on IR on Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Burton will miss the final three games of the regular season due to his shoulder injury, but he only played a reserve role in Dallas' secondary. On a more positive note for the Cowboys, Trevon Diggs (foot) is expected to come off IR.

Burton (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Burton plays sparingly on defense, and his services would be designated for special teams in Week 15 because Anthony Brown, Jourdan Lewis and Chidobe Awuzie are all healthy. He'll aim to return next week against the Eagles.

The Cowboys elevated Burton to the 53-man roster from the practice squad Sunday.

Burton will take the place of Chidobe Awuzie, who was placed on IR on Saturday with a hamstring injury. Burton saw action in three games with the Cowboys in 2019, seeing just three defensive snaps, so he'll likely assume a similar role if he suits up in Week 3.

Dallas signed Burton off the Colts' practice squad Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Burton will fill Anthony Brown's roster spot with the Cowboys. The 25-year-old cornerback has yet to play a down in 2019, so Burton need not be considered for a fantasy roster spot at this stage of his career.

Burton (undisclosed) did not practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Burton was spotted with an ice pack on his leg. The third-year cornerback is competing for a depth role in Houston's secondary, and missing any time due to injury could impact his chances of making the 53-man roster.

Burton signed a contract with Houston on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Burton's place on the 53-man roster comes following the release of tackle David Sharpe. The second-year cornerback will provide the Texans with secondary depth, and is expected to play most of his snaps on special teams.

Burton was waived by the Packers on Wednesday, according to the team's official site.

Burton was cut in order to make room for running back Aaron Jones, who was activated from exempt status. Burton was claimed off waivers from the Falcons on Sept. 11 and was inactive for Green Bay's Week 2 game against the Vikings.
