Carson will be placed on waivers after appearing in three games with the Cowboys this season, during which he recorded one tackle while playing 17 snaps on defense and 28 snaps with the special-teams unit. If he clears waivers, the cornerback will likely have to settle for a practice squad spot elsewhere.
