Dallas waived Hansford without an injury designation Wednesday.
Hansford was always unlikely to make the team as a rookie UDFA considering the Cowboys added fellow linebackers Damone Clark and Devin Harper in this year's draft. The fact that he passed his physical prior to being waived means he'll become a free agent if he's not claimed during the current waiver period.

The Cowboys placed Hansford (calf) on the active/physically unable to perform list Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Hansford will continue to count against Dallas' 90-man roster while on this list in the preseason, but he is still eligible to return and participate at any point before the team's Aug. 30 cutdown date. Otherwise, the rookie linebacker will be forced to miss the first four games of the regular season.
