Where Does Cowboys DE Jalen Jelks Stand Heading Into 2nd Season?
The Dallas Cowboys have done a good job lately of finding roster contributors in the late rounds of the NFL Draft. Will Defensive End Jalen Jelks, the 7th-Round pick in 2019, be able to fight his way onto the team in 2020?
Jalen joined the Cowboys as an athletic pass rusher who had potential to play both defensive end and outside linebacker. He was kept at DE through the end of the preseason, playing in three games and registering one sack.
Unfortunately, Jelks’ rookie season was cut short when he was placed on injured reserve just before final cuts. What that injury was has never been disclosed, and it’s likely the Cowboys used something very minor to stash Jalen away for a year. Whatever happened, don’t expect it to be an issue going forward.
