After missing the first two preseason games the Cowboys welcomed back three key pieces to the defense.
On Thursday night we got a first glimpse of three newcomers to the defense in rookie defensive tackle Maliek Collins, free agent defensive end Benson Mayowa, and a once-again Cowboy, linebacker Justin Durant. Each of these three were held out of the first two preseason games for various reasons. Collins and Mayowa both underwent surgery during OTA’s that kept them out for most of training camp. Durant, who signed with the team only about a month ago, has taken part in training camp but not the preseason games because the team wanted to allow him to work himself into shape after not taking part in the rest of the offseason.
