OXNARD, Calif. – The Cowboys got back to work on Monday, but one of their promising young defensive ends didn’t finish practice.
Charles Tapper left early with tightness in his hip and legs, team executive vice president Stephen Jones said, though he’s hopeful the first-year pass rusher won’t be out long.
“I think this will be short-lived in terms of hopefully he’ll be able to get back out here tomorrow,” Jones said.
Tapper, a fourth-round pick a year ago, made his NFL debut last Thursday in the Cowboys’ Hall of Fame Game win over the Arizona Cardinals.
