Thats good to hear really, last year was a fluke injury, the knee still had a tear from college. I don't know why they didn't fix it when they had a chance. Now both knees are good, he's going to benefits having McClain taking over the mike position

IRVING — A little over a week ago, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Sean Lee “looks fantastic. As you might expect, he’s ready to go.”

Lee is working his way back from tearing the ACL in his left knee almost a year ago during organized team activities.

“Sean has been doing a really good job,” Cowboys linebackers coach Matt Eberflus said during last weekend’s rookie minicamp. “He’s trying to get back to where he was and beyond that. I
It’s a day to day process for him.”

Lee has missed 31 games over the last three seasons because of injury, so slightly dialing it back during off-season work has been part of the plan.… [visit site to read more]

I think it will help Lee stay healthy if Dallas uses some of its depth to balance his playing time. Don't overwork a player who has had trouble staying on the field. Although Hitchens will probably get a shot at starting on the strong side, his greater value to this team might be rotating with Lee when Dallas can afford to take Lee off the field.

In fact, I think we're trying to do with the LB corps what we did last year with the line, create a wave of players. Brinkley spells McClain, Hitchens spells Lee, Gachkar/Wilson spells Hitchens.

All I know is.........I can NOT wait to see Ro and Lee on the field.

Itsa comin' and hell isa comin' with it.

In Dallas’ defensive scheme, the weakside linebacker travels with the three-technique defensive tackle. With Lee playing that position, it will give him a better chance to see the ball, added protection from blockers and more freedom to make plays.

So Sean Lee is going to be put in a place where he can have more freedom to make plays???

My goodness.........

Lee and McClain are too important to come off in critical games and situations
They will need to play
You can wave the third LB all you want

until he gets hurt again....

There are many types of people that bother all of us on this board. The kind that bother me most are the ones who say "until he gets hurt again." Like they can't wait till it happens so they can prove people right. There may be players who work EQUALLY as hard (Romo, Witten) but there aren't any who work HARDER then Sean Lee. Wishing the best for him

I didn't say bring them off in critical situation, but when the other team is starting at its 20 and Dallas is up by two touchdowns, I think you can put Hitchens in Lee's spot for a few plays.

I really hope that he can stay healthy for once. If so, then the sky is the limit.

With that being said I'll remain cautiously optimistic about him.
