Dallas Cowboys: David Irving’s camp absence extremely disappointing
https://thelandryhat.com/2018/07/25/dallas-cowboys-david-irvings-camp-absence/
...Last month, the league suspended Irving for another four-games to start the 2018 regular season. This time for violating their substance abuse policy.
Now, the Star-Telegram’s Clarence E. Hill Jr. has reported that Irving will not report at the start of training camp in Oxnard, California this week due to his ongoing personal issues. According to Hill, no timetable has been set for his return and the 24-year old defensive tackle could end up missing camp entirely.
Once again, Irving is set to start the new season in Week Five. This time, it’s an early October matchup against the Houston Texans. Last year, Irving’s debut was against the Green Bay Packers. He posted five combined tackles, 2.0 sacks and a pass defend in his return. Irving would go on to record 6.0 sacks in his first four games of 2017.
Arriving at OTA’s out of shape, failing drug tests, dealing with off-the-field drama, and now missing at least the start of training camp is all extremely disappointing for a player many Dallas Cowboys fans were hoping would solidify the interior of their defensive line. Instead, Irving’s offseason issues will likely scare the team away from signing him to any sort of longterm extension next year.
