Cowboys release LB Rashaan Evans after drug possession arrest

The Dallas Cowboys made a roster move on Wednesday, waiving linebacker Rashaan Evans while activating offensive tackle Matt Waletzko from injured reserve. Seen as an odd move at the time, the reasoning behind Dallas’ decision has likely been revealed.

According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, Evans was arrested on Tuesday. He was charged with possession of marijuana in the city of Frisco, TX — where the Cowboys practice on a daily basis.
