The Cowboys released Durant on Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Durant was set to become a free agent after the season and had been a backup player for the Cowboys, so the team decided to cut the veteran loose in order to clear a spot for practice-squad linebacker Tre'Von Johnson. It's unlikely that Durant will sign elsewhere before the campaign concludes, so he'll get an early start on the offseason as he looks to find a new home in 2018.

Durant (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Durant has missed the past three games since suffering a concussion against the Chargers on Thanksgiving Day. He also put in some full practices last week and, though he didn't play last week against the Raiders, seems on track to possibly make a return for this Sunday's tilt with the Seahawks.

Durant (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Durant was able to put in a pair of full practices this week, but it appears he failed to receive clearance from an independent neurologist to return to game action. Until Durant passes that final hurdle in the concussion protocol, he won't be eligible to appear in any contests.

Durant (concussion) logged a The Dallas Morning News Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Durant has missed the previous two games while dealing concussion-like symptoms. His full workload at Thursday's practice indicates he is ready to go for Week 15, however the team has yet to officially confirm he has cleared concussion protocol. Assuming he avoids any setbacks, look for him to suit up against Raiders on Sunday.

Durant (concussion) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Redskins, Todd Archer of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Durant seemingly sustained a concussion on Thanksgiving Day during the Cowboys' matchup with the Chargers. With Sean Lee (hamstring) also ruled out Thursday, Anthony Hitchens (groin) will likely slide over to weakside linebacker, assuming Hitchens is ultimately cleared to play.

Durant sat out Sunday's practice due to a concussion, Brandon George of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Durant likely suffered his concussion on Thanksgiving day, in the Cowboy's loss to the Chargers. Given the long week he'll have, he could presumably return in time for Week 13. Expect updates on his status as the progresses.

Durant (groin) practiced without limitations Wednesday and is in line to play Sunday against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Durant is ready for his first action since Week 6 against the Packers. However, the Cowboys' linebacker corps is at full health, so Durant is likely to play most of his snaps on special teams.

Durant (groin) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Redskins, Kate Hairopoulos of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Durant will miss his second consecutive game Sunday. However, since Sean Lee (hamstring) is back in the lineup, Durant will be deployed sparingly on the defensive side of the ball when he's healthy.

Durant (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins.
EDGE Analysis
Durant was limited in practice this week after missing his first game of the season in Week 7. The 32-year-old will likely be a game-day decision, but mostly serves in a reserve capacity with the Cowboy's starting linebackers currently at full health.
