Brent has been moved to the Reserve/Retired List, Nick Eatman of dallascowboys.com announces.

Brent is only 27, so it's not like he's grown out of the game. There's no shortage to the personal problems Brent had to deal with off the field, so he might be leaving the game to get his life in order. Rolando McClain once dealt with a similar situation then later returned, so it's not 100 percent we've seen the last of Brent in the NFL.

Brent (groin) picked up two tackles in his return to the NFL on Thursday.

He won't be an IDP factor, but Brent should help shore up the Cowboys' run defense.

The Cowboys activated Brent from the Reserve/Suspended list Tuesday.

Brent is set to return to action after completing a 10-game suspension. He will provide some depth on the defensive line for the Cowboys.

Brent (suspension) returned to practice this week and signed a one-year extension with the Cowboys on Saturday, ESPN's Field Yates reports.

He won't be able to play in games until Week 12, but it's good to hear he's back at practice and should be up to speed when he is allowed to return.

Brent (suspension) will begin working out and attending team meetings on Monday, the Dallas Morning News reports.

He won't be able to play until Week 12, but he'll have plenty of time to get back up to speed before then.

Brent was reinstated by the Cowboys, but will have to serve a 10-game suspension before he's able to play, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

Brent initially chose to retire last summer following the December 2012 charge of intoxication manslaughter he faced for the death of teammate Jerry Brown, but he decided to continue his career after serving jail time and completing a rehab program. He won't be completely absolved from his off-field turmoil, however, as the Cowboys will not even allow Brent to return to team facilities until after Week 6 of the season. Furthermore, any other alcohol-related incidents Brent may partake in will likely result in a permanent ban from playing in the NFL. Considering all the black marks on his record as well as his extensive time away from the game, it may be difficult for Brent to reemerge as an NFL-caliber player.

Brent has completed his stint in rehab, and will meet with commissioner Roger Goodell sometime in the next two weeks to discuss his reinstatement, the Dallas Morning News reports.

He hasn't played since 2012 after a drunk driving incident that took the life of his Cowboys' teammate Jerry Brown, and Brent has failed multiple drug tests since then, so reinstatement is by no means guaranteed. Should Goodell allow him back into the league, however, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has stated that the Cowboys would welcome Brent back.

Former Cowboys DT Josh Brent was released from his residential substance abuse treatment program Tuesday.

Brent hopes to continue his career, and will meet with Roger Goodell in the next two weeks to discuss reinstatement. Even if he is reinstated, Brent could still face league discipline. The Cowboys are Brent's most likely landing spot if he reenters the league. Dallas needs D-Line help, and Jerry Jones has already said he would consider giving Brent an opportunity. Brent is only 26.

Former Cowboys DT Josh Brent was released from jail.

Brent was convicted of intoxication manslaughter in connection with a December 2012 drunk-driving crash that killed Cowboys practice-squad LB Jerry Brown. Brent has officially retired from the NFL, but Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones recently said the team would be open to bringing Brent back to the team. It is unclear whether Brent wants to return to football, or if he would face a suspension if he were to return.

Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones said the team would be open to bringing back retired DT Josh Brent once he's released from jail.

Brent, of course, is in jail after he was found guilty of intoxication manslaughter. He was sentenced to 180 days in jail and ten years probation. Brent got off extremely easy. He was facing 20 years behind bars. That the Cowboys would even entertain this potential circus points to how dire the situation is on the defensive line in Dallas. Brent "retired" from the NFL last summer.

Josh Brent was sentenced to 180 days in jail and 10 years probation as a result of his intoxication manslaughter conviction.

Former Cowboys DT Josh Brent has been convicted of intoxication manslaughter.

After two days of deliberation, a Dallas County jury found Brent guilty. In December of 2012, Brent was driving drunk and wrecked his car, killing passenger and teammate Jerry Brown.

Cowboys NT Josh Brent is retiring from the NFL after three seasons to focus on his off-the-field issues.

Brent says "it's the right thing to do" in order for him to get his life back on track following his December intoxicated manslaughter arrest that resulted in the death of teammate and best friend Jerry Brown. We were expecting a decision on Brent's roster spot to come before the weekend, but this wasn't the outcome many saw coming. Brent recorded 44 tackles and 1.5 sacks after being a seventh-round pick in the 2010 Supplemental Draft out of Illinois. We may see him back on an NFL field some day, but that's not a given.

Cowboys NT Josh Brent's status on the roster is expected to be determined before the team travels to Oxnard, California for training camp next week.

According to an NFL spokesman, the league is still reviewing the case. Brent was charged with intoxicated manslaughter in December, after he wrecked his car and killed teammate Jerry Brown. Brent is still on the Cowboys' roster and is eligible to practice, but he isn't expected to be in attendance.

Cowboys NT Josh Brent was released from jail on Sunday morning.

Brent, who went back to jail for violating the terms of his pretrial release by failing multiple drug tests, spent 11 days behind bars. He was released due to a court order, though details of it are unclear.

The lawyers for Cowboys NT Josh Brent are requesting Dallas district attorney Craig Watkins restrict his public comments to what are "ethically permissible" in Brent's intoxicated manslaughter case.

Watkins talked at length about the case in a radio interview last week, going as far as to say "when (Brent is found guilty)." Watkins probably got too loose-lipped, but neither his comments nor Brent's motion should have much effect on the case.

The Dallas County district attorney plans to seek jail time in Cowboys NT Josh Brent's intoxicated manslaughter case.

The DA went on local radio last week to say Brent "still uses alcohol and illicit drugs," and that he "wants him jailed for the crash" that killed former teammate Jerry Brown. Brent is currently in jail after violating the terms of his bond by failing two tests for marijuana. Meanwhile, the Cowboys continue to hold Brent's roster spot.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports the Cowboys have no plans to cut NT Josh Brent.

Even after his second failed drug test on Tuesday, which resulted in Brent being jailed Thursday, the Cowboys are still holding out hope that he can contribute on the field one day. The team is just waiting for the NFL to suspend the 25-year-old. He isn't getting paid or receiving any kind of treatment from the Cowboys. Aside from Brent making the team look bad, there's no other downside to keeping him around. It's purely a football decision.

Cowboys NT Josh Brent tested positive for marijuana and is back in jail.

Brent was tested for marijuana on June 19, and a positive result was confirmed on Tuesday. He was booked into Lew Sterrett Justice Center on Thursday. It's Brent's second positive test since his arrest for intoxicated manslaughter back in early December. The failed drug tests violate the terms of his release.

According to ESPN's Ed Werfer, the Cowboys still believe that NT Josh Brent will contribute on the field one day.

Brent, accused of driving drunk and testing positive for marijuana during the accident that caused teammate Jerry Brown's death, is awaiting trial on manslaughter chargers. Even if he's found not guilty, the league will likely suspend him for a year. But the Cowboys apparently think that it's possible Brent can contribute in 2014 or beyond, so he stays on the roster.
