RELEASED The Cowboys have waived linebacker Devin Harper

[Carson]

What is left at LB now. LVE and Clark? Micah doesn’t count, he plays DE.

I believe they will call up Jefferson

 

[Gambit]

WTH. We need more lb!!!!! And you’re releasing one of the few we have????? Get a good lb in here NOW

Whom are you speaking to?

 

[exciter]

Who we making room for?

Probably Hoffman!

 

[805BoysInBlue]

Why is Nashon Wright even on the team? We've seen what he is. Give Eric Scott a shot.

 

[stilltheguru]

He did not have a 60 yd. penalty so yeah I think he is BALLIN. Practice Squad means you practice not to make out of the play 60 yd penalties.

The "good" news is that in this scheme Jayron Kearse, Donovan Wilson, and Markquese Bell basically play LB. The Cowboys use three safeties as their base defense.

 

[Hennessy_King]

Patrick queen lets go

 

[CWR]

My two cents … Hoffman to the 53. Jefferson will be the call up at LB

Yeah Hoffman is out of practice squad eligibility because he's been called up 3 times already. I guess that's how it works?

 

[Carson]

Correct. I don’t think they trust Harlow yet nor Price (obviousl). So if Biadasz can’t go or has a setback they need a body who can play Sunday

 

[Kevinicus]

He killed us last week with his special teams penalty on the Turpin return. IMO we tie it up there and the outcome is different

Didn't they go right down inside the 10 after that?

 

[Rayman70]

just signed Billy Price. I like it.

 

[32BellyOption]

He was a waste. Now let’s go get Kyzir White.

just signed Billy Price. I like it.

Thought that was to PS? maybe I read wrong

On Thursday, the Cowboys opted to part ways with linebacker Devin Harper, as they begin to finalize preparation for their coming matchup against Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots.

Harper survived final roster cuts in late August to land on the team's active 53-man roster, and was active in all three of the Cowboys regular season games heading into Week 4. Last week against the Cardinals, Harper was flagged for holding on a punt return that negated a 51-yard return by KaVontae Turprin.

The team does have an option on the practice squad for the issue of depth at linebacker, namely Malik Jefferson, the former Longhorn who joined the team in 2022 and went on to have a strong training camp this summer that included a standout performance in the preseason opener — prior to suffering an injury that derailed his preseason.

Jefferson was ultimately signed to the team's practice squad and could very well get a chance to step up with Harper being waived.

Wow, very interesting. Harper has some talent, but whatever. This is just surprising because now there down to 3 LBs.

Question: Could Micah be playing more LB now to bolster the position on run downs?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

I wonder if his penalty caused this. Just spitballing

We cut someone for a penalty? Where did you dream that?

 

[Carson]

Thought that was to PS? maybe I read wrong

It was the practice squad

 

[exciter]

Why is Nashon Wright even on the team? We've seen what he is. Give Eric Scott a shot.

Huh? Scott is on active roster. Wright is on IR!

 

[RonWashington]

What ? So neither Harper or Cox worked out . It’s not like the Lb spot is rich with over abundance . Odd time after the Cardinals went roadrunner on our coyotes .

 

[Mr_437]

Give Eric Scott a shot.

Scott trash Bro
