It’s been a rough week for Lucky Whitehead.

Last week, the former Cowboys receiver had his dog Blitz stolen and held for ransom after a robbery at his Dallas home. Blitz was eventually returned to Whitehead by a Dallas-area rapper named Boogotti Kasino, who had posted a profanity-laden video demanding $20,000 but later said he was just asking for money he paid to the original dognappers.

Then, on Monday, Whitehead was released by the Cowboys on the first day of training camp, after the wide receiver and kick returner was linked to a shoplifting arrest in his home state of Virginia.
