A few Cowboys have entered the transfer portal in recent weeks, including a pair of defensive contributors, but they’ll still be available to play in the Fiesta Bowl.
Mike Gundy said Monday that safety Tanner McCalister and defensive tackle Jayden Jernigan are with the team in Phoenix and will play Saturday.
“They’re here with us, yeah,” Gundy said. “Both those guys practiced great, and they’ll be playing with us in the bowl game. I mentioned this to you guys maybe three weeks ago that we hadn’t had really anybody in the portal, and I said before it’s all said and done you’re going to have three or four players.
