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.

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

Until Durant passes that final hurdle in the concussion protocol, he won't be eligible to appear in any contests.

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: 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.
