Attending to neck soreness Bunting is nursing a sore neck after Thursday's joint practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Though the issue doesn't seem too problematic, Bunting's availability for the team's preseason opener on Saturday is now up in the air. The Cowboys signed the 6-foot-7 tight end before the start of last season, and although Bunting saw his first live game action of his career after he was elevated from the practice squad in Week 14, he ultimately failed to record any stats over three offensive snaps. Once the 26-year-old is medically cleared, he'll resume practicing with Dallas in hopes of earning a roster spot among fellow tight ends Sean McKeon, Jeremy Sprinkle and Peyton Hendershot, behind starter Dalton Schultz and rookie Jake Ferguson.

Back to practice squad Bunting reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Bunting was active for the first time this season in Week 14, and he logged three offensive snaps in addition to 12 snaps on special teams. If Sean McKeon (neck) remains sidelined, Bunting could be elevated from the practice squad again in time for the team's Week 15 matchup against the Giants.

Impact Bunting is expected to provide depth to the tight end room, but barring an emergency, he is unlikely to make his NFL debut. The 25-year-old caught 18 passes for 195 yards during his final collegiate season at California.

Shifts to IR Bunting (leg) cleared waivers Tuesday and reverted to the Colts' injured reserve, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Bunting will remain on injured reserve unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team. The California product is a big-bodied, run-blocking tight end, but even once he's healthy, he'll need to fine-tune his craft to make an NFL roster.

Impact Bunting will revert to Indianapolis' injured reserve list if he clears waivers. He suffered a leg injury during Saturday's practice. The 6-foot-7, 253-pound tight end offers developmental upside as a blocking specialist.
