Cowboys activate Josh Brent months after intoxication manslaughter conviction
Josh Brent became a member of the Cowboys’ 53-man roster Tuesday.
Linebacker Tim Dobbins was waived to make room for Brent, the defensive tackle just finished serving a 10-game suspension.
“He’s had a couple of good weeks of practice,” Dallas coach Jason Garrett said. “He’s too heavy right now. He’s trying to get his weight down. He’s done a good job making some gradual progress on that…He’s done a good job of coming back, getting himself in physical condition and practicing. This is the NFL. It’s a challenge and when the ball is snapped you better be ready to do it.”
Brent, 26, is eligible to make his 2014 debut in the Cowboys’ next game against the New York Giants on Nov. 23. He hasn’t played in 23 months.
