Overview
- Elam was released Saturday and will be subject to waivers after Dallas created space to add Davis from the practice squad.
- Dallas acquired the former first-round pick from Buffalo in March as injury insurance, then saw his snaps fall sharply in recent weeks.
- He appeared in 10 games with seven starts for the Cowboys, registering one pass defensed and 29 tackles.
- Recent usage dropped from 95.2% of defensive snaps in Week 8 to special-teams only versus Las Vegas as Caelen Carson returned and rookie Shavon Revel Jr. entered the rotation.
- Per reporting that cites Spotrac, roughly $1 million remains fully guaranteed on Elam’s deal, while Davis steps up after multiple elevations and a 20-yard outing on four carries against the Raiders.
