Overview
- The Cowboys waived wide receiver Traeshon Holden, the team announced Monday, to open a 90-man roster spot after agreeing to terms with veteran edge rusher Von Miller.
- Holden muffed a punt in the preseason opener against the Seattle Seahawks, a high-profile special-teams error that reporters cited as a key factor in his release.
- Undrafted in 2025, Holden spent last season on Dallas's practice squad and entered 2026 fighting a crowded receiver room that included veterans and rising players.
- Rookie Camden Brown's two touchdown catches in the same preseason game strengthened his case for a roster spot and made Holden more expendable.
- Holden now faces the waiver process where another team can claim him or, if unclaimed, he can sign elsewhere or return to a practice squad, while Miller's clearance to begin practicing with Dallas has not yet been announced.
