Dallas Cowboys release Mark Nzeocha; Trade for Jayrone Elliott

Although the Dallas Cowboys trimmed down their roster from 90 players to just 53 on Saturday afternoon, their work is far from done. After reportedly being awarded former Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Brian Price off the waiver wire, Dallas promptly decided to cut veteran Cedric Thornton to make room.

And now, the Cowboys have apparently elected to make another change, this time at linebacker. According to ESPN.com, Dallas has decided to release third-year linebacker Mark Nzeocha. The former 2015 seventh round selection out of Wyoming struggled with injuries during his two seasons with the Cowboys.
