After the Cowboys brought in Malik Hooker for another visit last week, the free agent officially cleared COVID-19 protocols, passed his physical, and joined the team. It resulted in the Cowboys adding Mitch Hyatt to the injured reserve to make room for him.
“I think it’s clearly an opportunity to add another excellent player,” Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said. “We had a chance to bring him in and he’s completed his rehab. I think anytime you have a chance to just continue to build the competition on your roster, if it works out for both sides, you definitely have to take advantage of that.
