FRISCO, Texas – There are not a lot of positive developments that come out of having 14 players on injured reserve in a season. The Cowboys have found one good thing though, and that's seeing their undrafted free agents step up into contributing roles.
In the last few weeks, there have been instances where as many as seven UDFAs have shared the field at the same time for Dallas. Cooper Rush, Rico Dowdle, KaVontae Turpin and Brock Hoffman are just a few of the glistening examples of the Cowboys finding gems that can play and contribute to winning.
Last week, the Cowboys had 14 players take the field in Carolina who were not drafted, including other starters such as Terence Steele and T.J. Bass, along with special teams contributors Brandon Aubrey, C.J. Goodwin and Trent Sieg.
"I think it reflects to the fact that we've been kicking *** in the eighth round…" Head coach Mike McCarthy said with a laugh. "I'm just proud of those guys, I think they're all examples of it's not where you start, you just keep working and when your opportunity comes, I think they've clearly taken advantage of it, I think that's awesome."
