Defensive lineman David Irving is returning to the Dallas Cowboys this week.
That’s a boost for the Cowboys as Irving was one of their more disruptive players last season. He had four sacks, five tackles for loss, 26 quarterback pressures and forced four fumbles in 15 games, including two starts.
Irving served a four-game suspension for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drugs policy to start the season. He’ll rejoin the team on Tuesday.
“The hope is to get him integrated and see how he’s doing,” coach Jason Garrett said Monday. “We haven’t seen him in four weeks, but hopefully he’s in shape and ready to go.
