Webb (hip) was waived by the Cowboys on Thursday, ESPN Dallas reports.

Analysis:

Webb was slated to miss the final two preseason contests due to a hip flexor, but the Cowboys will now put faith in the fact that he'll emerge from waivers unclaimed in order to keep him around on the practice squad. As a fourth-round pick of the 2013 NFL Draft, the cornerback will likely be handed a longer leash than normal to prove his worth.
