The Cowboys are signing Mike Nugent while also keeping injured kicker Dan Bailey on the roster. That means someone has to go, and that someone is Damontre Moore. The defensive end is being released, per a team announcement.

The Cowboys signed Moore this offseason with the knowledge that he would likely have to serve a suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. After a two-game ban, the 25-year-old tallied just five tackles in three games. He was left off of the roster on Sunday against the Niners and he’s now back on the free agent pile.
A 2013 third-round pick, Moore has yet to put it all together at the NFL level. In 2016, he suited up in only four games for the Seahawks. In the previous two seasons for the Giants and Dolphins, however, he managed nine sacks in total.
