Cowboys Trim Roster To 75; Matt Johnson Waived
Posted 1 hour ago
David Helman DallasCowboys.com Staff Writer
IRVING, Texas – Third-year safety Matt Johnson headlined 13 roster cuts by the Cowboys on Tuesday afternoon, as they trimmed their roster to 75 players ahead of Thursday’s preseason finale.
Johnson is one of four players to be waived/injured, which means he reverts to the Cowboys’ injured reserve if he clears waivers. The more likely scenario is the team will part ways with the 2012 draft pick, who has yet to play a regular season game, once the sides come to an injury settlement.
The team made four other injury designations with tight end Jordan Najvar, who tore his ACL last weekend against Miami, defensive backs Johnny Thomas and Justin Green and linebacker DeVonte Holloman.
Holloman’s release comes after the announcement last week that the second-year player would be finishing his playing career as a result of a neck injury.
Seven of the Cowboys’ 13 roster moves on Tuesday were outright releases. The team opted to part ways with Caleb Hanie, Chris Boyd, Adewale Ojomo, Tom Hornsey, Wayne Tribue, and Casey Kreiter. Martez Wilson and J.C. Copeland were released earlier in the week, giving the Cowboys 15 roster moves in total.
