Cowboys Add Von Miller, Cut Traeshon Holden in Camp Roster Move
The veteran edge rusher will be used in short bursts to add high-impact pass rush and the team plans further roster adjustments.
Overview
- The Cowboys signed veteran pass rusher Von Miller and released Traeshon Holden to open a roster spot, with Miller appearing at practice in non‑contact gear.
- Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Miller brings top-tier football IQ and a still‑quick first step but is not expected to play every snap and will be deployed in situational pass‑rush roles.
- Team executives stressed depth on the edge, naming players such as Ezeiruaku, Gary, Malachi, James Houston and Sam Williams as part of a group the Miller addition strengthens.
- Schottenheimer called the preseason special‑teams showing disappointing and held a long meeting to address mistakes that will shape competition and personnel decisions.
- Several players had varied practice availability, with Zion Childress, Jaishawn Barham and Devin Moore working back in and Jonathan Bullard and Michael Trigg not practicing, and coaches warned the roster remains fluid with more moves likely.
