Cowboys' Brandon Carr: Bumps to active roster
Rotowire
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.
