Malik Jefferson

Malik Jefferson has been released by the Dallas Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferson will be released by the Cowboys, but it was noted that he's likely to sign back with the practice squad and will have a chance to be elevated for Week 1 against the Giants. There's an off chance that another team wants the veteran, but the most likely scenario seems to be him staying in Dallas.

The Bengals placed rookie linebacker Malik Jefferson (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday, ending his season. Undrafted free agent linebacker Chris Worley was promoted from the practice squad to fill his roster spot.

Fantasy Impact

Jefferson injured his foot in last Sunday’s win over the Raiders. The 2018 third-rounder played mostly special teams this season with only 11 snaps on defense. He finishes with 10 tackles.
