On Thursday, two days before roster cuts had to be submitted to the league office, safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix was the first defensive player released this week by the Cowboys.
It had been reported that Clinton-Dix was not performing well in practice and that he had been passed on the depth chart by journeyman safety Darian Thompson.
The 2016 Pro Bowler started all 16 games with the Chicago Bears last season, but will not suit up for a single game with Dallas.
Left on the depth chart are Xavier Woods as a sure starter but suffering through a slight groin strain currently, Thompson, and second-year man Donovan Wilson
