The Cowboys hope Chaz Green can step in and start at right tackle.
The addition of Byron Bell in free agency is meant to push him in that direction.
Doug Free informed the club immediately after the scouting combine that he intended to retire. That put Green next in line.
But here's the issue: Green has been active for only four games since the Cowboys took him in the third round of the 2015 draft. He missed his entire rookie season after undergoing hip surgery. Green started at left tackle for two games early last season when Tyron Smith was injured and performed relatively well, but sprained his foot and didn't play another snap for the remainder of the season after Oct.
