ARLINGTON, Texas -- In Thursday's preseason opener, defensive end Jason Hatcher didn't look like he'd been in Rob Ryan's defense for all of a week.
Hatcher was active in the starters' subpackages and the second-team defense. On the opening drive, he hurried Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton into an incompletion that forced Denver to kick a field goal. Later, his pressure led to an Alan Ball interception on Tim Tebow (the play was nullified by pass interference).
Hatcher, who re-signed for three years and $6 million a week into training camp, has 7.5 sacks in five seasons with the Cowboys. He worked hard to stay in shape during the lockout, knowing he could fit into Ryan's rotation.
