FRISCO, TX — The Dallas Cowboys officially released Fullback Sewo Olonilua on Wednesday afternoon.
In 2021 it was looking good for Olonilua, he was producing well and it looked like he was going to make the 53-man roster for the 2021-22 season.
During the off season he sustained a neck injury that forced a neck surgery to be done during training camp. For the remainder of the year he was put on the injury reserved list.
The TCU grad played in two games at the end of the 2020 season but spent most of his time with the Cowboys on Special Teams.
With Olonilua released, that leaves the Cowboys with veteran Ryan Nall and Nick Ralston as the current fullbacks on the current roster.
The Cowboys currently have 92 players either under contract or expected to sign. Dallas needs to be at 91 players for the entire off-season and going into training camp. With offensive lineman Isaac Alarcon getting another year in the NFL’s International Pathway Program, the Cowboys will get an exception on the roster for Alarcon now and for the practice squad next season unless he makes the active roster.
