Cowboys senior Kevin Peterson found himself in a familiar spot Thursday: atop the first official depth chart at cornerback.
Good to fill that spot, too, Peterson said, having undergone minor knee surgery earlier this preseason.
“I’m glad it happened so early,” Peterson said in declaring himself fit for the season opener next Thursday at Central Michigan. “Now it’s out of the way and I can look forward to doing everything I have to do with the team.”
Peterson said he took managed his brief time away from practices with a focus on returning quickly.
“I took it upon myself to make sure it wasn’t going to linger into the season or anything like that,” he said.
