The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0granted Ezekiel Elliott his release\u00a0on Tuesday after the running back requested it in an attempt to land with a playoff-bound team ahead of Week 18. They’ve immediately filled his former roster spot on January 1st to\u00a0kick off 2025.<\/p>\n
That’s because the Cowboys have signed DE Earnest Brown IV,\u00a0Nick Harris from\u00a0Forth Worth Star-Telegram<\/em>\u00a0reported.<\/p>\n Brown IV, who was a fifth-round draft pick for the\u00a0Los Angeles Rams\u00a0in 2021, technically making him a Super Bowl champion that year even though he didn’t play that year and spent the season.<\/p>\n Most recently, Brown IV spent time with the\u00a0Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played three weeks and logged 21 defensive snaps before becoming a healthy scratch the rest of the year, ultimately being waived last week.<\/p>\n The Cowboys are mathematically eliminated and racing toward the end of the season. It’s unclear if Brown IV will play at all in Week 18 against the\u00a0Washington Commanders\u00a0but if he does it’d likely be very limited playing time for him.<\/p>\n Brown IV joins Micah Parsons, Marshawn Kneeland, Chauncey Golston, and Carl Lawson, among others at defensive end and he’ll have to fight to get on the field. He has little time to do as Dallas gets ready for its first practice of the week on Wednesday.<\/p>\n The Cowboys also signed G Jack Anderson and CB Luq Barcoo to the practice squad.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0granted Ezekiel Elliott his release\u00a0on Tuesday after the running back requested it in an attempt to land with a playoff-bound team ahead of Week 18.
