Dallas Cowboys wide receiver James Washington was released on Wednesday after falling behind new addition T.Y. Hilton on the depth chart.
Washington played 15 total snaps in two games with the Cowboys after missing the first 12 games of the season while recovering from surgery on his broken right foot.
Hilton signed with the Cowboys on Dec. 12 and he has five receptions for 102 yards in two games, including four catches for 50 yards last week against the Tennessee Titans.
Washington broke his foot during training camp on Aug. 1 fighting for a ball with cornerback Trevon Diggs.
The Cowboys signed Washington to a one-year, $1.19 million with the Cowboys in March 2022.
Washington did not have a reception with the Cowboys. He totaled 114 catches for 1,629 yards and 11 touchdowns in 60 career games (25 starts) over four seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who selected him in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft.
