On the eve of training camp, the Dallas Cowboys decided to bring back a veteran as insurance for 2017. Linebacker Justin Durant was re-signed by the Cowboys. Durant was with the Cowboys last year and played in 13 games. He also had a stint with the team a few years ago.
The Cowboys were heading into camp with some question marks among their linebacker corps. While the reports have been positive on the recovery of Jaylon Smith, there is no assurance about how much or how well he will be able to play when the pads come on.
