FRISCO, Texas - With the potential of seeing Damien Wilson disciplined for a July 4 arrest, Jaylon Smith working back from a serious knee injury and Mark Nzeocha rehabbing from knee surgery, the Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a deal with veteran linebacker Justin Durant, the team announced on Thursday.
Durant played in 13 games last season for the Cowboys after he was signed just before the start of training camp. The coaches credited him with 54 tackles to go along with one sack, one tackle for loss, six quarterback pressures and four pass deflections, playing mostly in the defense's sub packages.
