The Cowboys released linebacker Kalen Thornton and signed rookie free-agent running back Demetris Summers.
Thornton missed the 2005 season after suffering a fractured tibial plateau in his left knee during training camp. He underwent surgery on September 13 to repair the knee and spent the season on injured reserve.
Thornton signed with Dallas as a rookie free agent in 2004 out of the University of Texas. He had eight tackles while playing mostly as a nickel pass rusher. Thornton also had 13 tackles on special teams.
Summers, a 5-11, 214-pound running back from South Carolina, had two tryouts with the Cowboys before signing with the club.
