Bunting (neck) was waived by the Cowboys on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bunting was cut with a failed physical designation, as he's been dealing with a neck injury since last August. The 27-year-old spent the entirety of last season on injured reserve and has appeared in only one game in his career. The 2019 undrafted free agent now will try to find a new opportunity elsewhere for the upcoming season.

Bunting (neck) was waived/injured by the Cowboys on Monday, Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bunting missed Dallas' preseason opener Saturday while dealing with neck soreness. The 26-year-old tight end, who saw action in just one game with the Cowboys last year, will now hit waivers before presumably shifting back to the team's IR, should he go unclaimed.

Bunting is nursing a sore neck after Thursday's joint practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though the issue doesn't seem too problematic, Bunting's availability for the team's preseason opener on Saturday is now up in the air. The Cowboys signed the 6-foot-7 tight end before the start of last season, and although Bunting saw his first live game action of his career after he was elevated from the practice squad in Week 14, he ultimately failed to record any stats over three offensive snaps. Once the 26-year-old is medically cleared, he'll resume practicing with Dallas in hopes of earning a roster spot among fellow tight ends Sean McKeon, Jeremy Sprinkle and Peyton Hendershot, behind starter Dalton Schultz and rookie Jake Ferguson.

Bunting reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Bunting was active for the first time this season in Week 14, and he logged three offensive snaps in addition to 12 snaps on special teams. If Sean McKeon (neck) remains sidelined, Bunting could be elevated from the practice squad again in time for the team's Week 15 matchup against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis
Bunting is expected to provide depth to the tight end room, but barring an emergency, he is unlikely to make his NFL debut. The 25-year-old caught 18 passes for 195 yards during his final collegiate season at California.
