Tyrone Crawford

Coach Mike McCarthy made the announcement at a Thursday press conference. No longer a starter in 2020, Crawford endured surgery to both hips in 2019, a season where he was limited to four appearances. Crawford is still only 31 years old. Although never a Pro Bowler, Crawford was an excellent rotational lineman, finishing his career with 25 sacks. 

It is unknown if Crawford tested positive or simply was in close contact with someone who did. The Cowboys are on a bye this week, so Crawford could be back in time for the Week 11 matchup against the Vikings. He has played 281 of a possible 632 snaps this season.

Not only was Crawford removed from PUP following double hip surgeries that limited him to four games last year, he managed to practice for the first time since going under the knife. It's a terrific sign the 30-year-old will be ready for Week 1, though his role as a starter remains unclear. He's due $9.1 million this year.

Crawford had surgery on both of his hips this offseason and still needs time to get back to full health. With training camp practices not set to begin until mid-August, injured players have a few extra weeks to catch up to their non-injured teammates. Dontari Poe also joins Crawford on the active/PUP list.
