02:54 PM ET 12.12 | The Dallas Cowboys will clear defensive tackle Josh Brent's roster spot, according to a report from ESPN.com's Ed Werder. According to Werder, the Cowboys will place Brent on the non-football injury/illness list, which lets the Cowboys replace Brent on their 53-man roster. The move also allows Brent the opportunity to access the team's facilities and receive support from the Cowboys organization.

" the Cowboys will place Brent on the non-football injury/illness list..."
I'm not sure that particular off-roster list is appropriate here. I don't recall that he sustained any injuries in the accident that would prevent him from playing. Doesn't the NFL have an "In Trouble With The Law" list?

This guy's in some deep ****. Apparently this isn't his first drunk driving offense, and he'll no doubt be charged with vehicular manslaughter at the very least.

At this point, the feeling by all (NFL, NFLPA & the Cowboys) is that putting him on a "suspended" list which would keep him away from the team would be detremental to the kid. Probably best to have him associated with the team until such point that he is stable enough for the "Conduct detrimental to the league" tag which would bar him from any contact at all.

They are probably using the "alcoholism is a disease" argument, being he has a prior DUI.

I seriously doubt the authorities can punish him any worse than he will torture himself over his friends death, but he has a lot of pain and trouble coming, I am glad the Cowboys organization is there for him.
