39 Brandon Carr CB

The Cowboys released Carr on Tuesday, Nick Eatman of the team's official site reports.

Carr played three games with the Cowboys this season, logging a combined 21 defensive snaps and one solo tackle. The 34-year-old cornerback may not have much left in the tank, but he could add veteran depth for another secondary.

Carr was signed from the Cowboys' practice squad Tuesday, Rob Phillips of the team's official site reports.

Carr was bumped up ahead of Sunday's game but did not take the field and immediately moved back to the practice squad, per NFL rules. The veteran cornerback will add some depth to the secondary.

The Cowboys elevated Carr to the active roster Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Carr has played 16 games in every season since being drafted in 2008, but he just recently signed onto the Cowboys' practice squad and looked in danger of sitting out Week 1. While he could still be a healthy scratch, Carr has a chance to play in Sunday night's game versus the Rams, and his odds have increased with Jourdan Lewis (ankle) ruled out.

The Ravens informed Carr on Wednesday that they won't exercise his $6 million team option for the 2020 season, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Carr now becomes an unrestricted free agent, likely searching for a new home ahead of his age-34 season. He's started all 16 games every year since he entered the league in 2008, but he wasn't actually a full-time player over the final two months of 2019, as the Ravens moved him to a unique flex role to accommodate fellow cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey, Marcus Peters and Jimmy Smith. Carr has now shown the versatility to play outside corner, slot corner and safety, so he shouldn't have trouble generating interest on the open market.

Carr played in all 16 regular-season games in 2019 and recorded 49 tackles (41 solo), two sacks and six defended passes.

Carr hasn't missed a single regular-season game in his 12-year NFL career. He opened the 2019 season handling an every-down gig in Baltimore's secondary, but following the team's Week 8 bye Carr transitioned into more of a rotational role due to the acquisition of Marcus Peters from the Rams. The stalwart veteran's contract with the Ravens includes a $7 million option for 2020.

Carr recorded seven tackles (six solo), one sack and a pass defensed across 60 snaps in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

Carr was making plays all over the field Sunday as he led the Ravens in tackles and logged his first sack since 2014, the second overall of his career. He played every defensive snap in the contest after playing a limited role Week 1 due to a hip injury.

Carr is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Carr was limited with a hip injury in Wednesday's practice but participated in full Thursday and Friday. The veteran cornerback has yet to miss a regular-season game in his career and will continue that streak Sunday.

Carr practiced in full Friday, his second consecutive unrestricted practice after being limited Wednesday. The 12-year veteran hasn't yet missed a regular-season game in his career and appears to be trending towards suiting up Week 1.

Carr (undisclosed) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Carr was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice due to an undisclosed injury, but he now appears back to full capacity. The veteran cornerback has yet to miss a regular-season game and is entering his 12th year in the NFL. He's on track for Sunday's contest versus Miami.

Carr (undisclosed) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

Heading into his 12th year in the league, Carr has yet to mess a regular-season game through stints with three teams. Carr finished last year with 45 tackles, 11 pass breakups and two interceptions. It's unclear what's bothering the veteran corner, but the fact that he's practicing in some fashion is a positive sign for his chances to play Sunday versus the Dolphins.

The Ravens picked up Carr's contract option for 2019 on Monday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Carr will receive $4.5 million for the 2019 season after logging 45 tackles, 11 passes defended and two interceptions last season. As consistent as they come, Carr has not missed a start since joining the NFL in 2008. The 32-year-old's return to Baltimore could jeopardize fellow cornerback Jimmy Smith's future with the Ravens.

General manager Eric DeCosta said Wednesday he expects Carr to remain with the Ravens in 2019, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

While Baltimore could save over $5 million in cap space each of the next two years by letting Carr walk, it seems the consistent veteran may be too valuable to cut loose. However, with 2017 first-round corner Marlon Humphrey on the rise and slot corner Tavon Young (sports hernia) freshly signed to a lavish contract extension, Carr's continued presence on the team could spell trouble for Jimmy Smith's future in Baltimore.

Carr recorded two tackles (one solo) and an interception in Saturday's win over the Chargers.

Carr's interception in Sunday's game was his first since Week 1. He's seen his role reduced slightly this season, playing about 10 snaps less per game than last year. Despite the downturn in playing time, Carr has been a valued part of a soaring Ravens defense in 2018. He and the rest of the team will look to secure a division title with a win over the Browns in Week 17.

Carr (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Carr continues to deal with a lingering knee issue and returned to practice after being limited to begin the week. It's likely that Carr's absence from Wednesday's practice was simply a precautionary measure, so the starting cornerback does not appear to be in any danger of missing Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Carr (knee) sat out Wednesday's practice, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

Carr has been dealing with a knee issue for some time now, and the Ravens have been careful to limit his practice workload throughout the week, which is likely what they did Wednesday. As of now, Carr -- who's started in 167 consecutive games -- shouldn't be expected to miss Sunday's game against the Panthers.

It looks like Carr's absence from practice Wednesday was just precautionary for the second straight week. The cornerback should be a full go once again for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Carr (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Carr was able to suit up for Sunday's game against the Titans but does not appear to have fully recovered from a lingering knee injury. The 32-year-old cornerback should be considered questionable for Baltimore's contest against the Saints in Week 7.

Carr (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Carr was a full practice participant Thursday and Friday, so his status never truly appeared to be in doubt. The 32-year-old will start opposite Jimmy Smith at cornerback for the Ravens.

Carr should be good to go Sunday after practicing in full Thursday and Friday, but he remains on the injury report heading into the weekend. Fellow cornerback Tavon Young (hip) is also considered questionable, so Marlon Humphrey could see an increased snap count across from Jimmy Smith if Carr were to suffer a setback.

Carr (knee) returned to full participation in Thursday's practice.

Carr was sidelined during Wednesday's practice after playing a hefty 72 defensive snaps in a Week 5 loss to the Browns, despite nursing a knee injury. Carr should be good to go Sunday against the Titans, barring any setbacks.
