The Dallas Cowboys have welcomed back linebacker Damien Wilson to their roster, according to Todd Archer of ESPN. Although he was not in the league for most of the previous season, Wilson signed with the Cowboys’ practice squad on January 3. He had served a four-game suspension for violating the Personal Conduct Policy.
Wilson’s last game appearance was in Week 18 of the 2022 season with the Panthers. Originally drafted by the Cowboys in the fourth round in 2015, Wilson spent his first four seasons in Dallas before playing for Kansas City, Jacksonville, and Carolina.
The Cowboys drafted Marist Liufau in the third round and needed depth at the linebacker position, which led them to sign Wilson. With this addition, he becomes the fourth outside free agent that the Cowboys have brought on board, joining Ezekiel Elliott, Eric Kendricks, and Royce Freeman.
