FRISCO, Texas -- Days before the team will travel to California for the start of training camp, the Dallas Cowboys will be releasing wide receiver Allen Hurns, he confirmed to NFL Network on Tuesday.
"Just wished they did this earlier," Hurns told NFL Network. "They asked me for a pay cut Monday ... couple of days before camp."
Hurns suffered a gruesome ankle injury in the Cowboys' wild-card win against the Seattle Seahawks in January that required surgery to repair a dislocation and broken fibula. He was able to return to work in a limited fashion during the offseason program and said he was close to "90 percent" in his recovery in June.
