IRVING, Texas (AP) — Demoted defensive lineman Igor Olshansky, last year’s starting fullback Chris Gronkowski and veteran kickers Shayne Graham and Dave Rayner were among the players the Dallas Cowboys released on Saturday to get their roster down to 53.

The departure of the experienced legs means the Cowboys are sticking with David Buehler and Dan Bailey. Buehler almost certainly will handle kickoffs. It remains to be seen whether there’s still a competition for field goals, or if that will be Bailey’s role.

Olshanky’s release was no surprise because he was dropped in the rotation. Cutting him saves more than $3.3 million against the salary cap.
