According to Calvin Watkins of ESPN Dallas, the Cowboys have placed NT Josh Brent on the non-football injury/illness list.
Brent is currently “emotionally unable to play after being charged with intoxication manslaughter,” so this move will allow Dallas to sign a potential replacement while allowing Brent to stay close to the organization that has publicly said that they’ll support him through this situation.
Given that Brent is facing some serious charges for his involvement in the car crash that cost Jerry Brown his life, he’ll almost certainly face some sort of punishment from the NFL if he ends up being convicted.
