For the second time in time in two months, Michael Sam has been let go by an NFL team. On Tuesday, the Dallas Cowboys decided to waive the rookie defensive end from their practice squad in order to sign linebacker Troy Davis. 

Sam, who became the first openly gay player drafted into the NFL, was cut by the St.Louis Rams in final cuts before signing with the Cowboys on September 3rd.
