OXNARD, Calif. -- When the Dallas Cowboys went through goal-line drills on Saturday, Sean Lee was practically begging for some work in his first day in 11-on-11 drills, but he could not prevail.

“It’s a good thing they didn’t have a mic on me,” Lee said.

Lee was able to get some goal-line snaps on Sunday as he continues to make progress from a torn anterior cruciate ligament that knocked him out of last season. In fact, Lee took all 22 snaps in team drills with the first-team defense.

“The only way to get better at football is playing it at a certain intensity level,” Lee said. “That’s why I need to be in there and I need to improve. I haven’t played football in a long time, so it was a nice first step but I obviously have to continue to improve and stay healthy and get better.”

As they did in the offseason the Cowboys made Lee progress from individual to seven-on-seven and team drills in camp. He does not expect to be limited the rest of camp.

[CATCH17]

I wish they would just keep him limited.

 

[jobberone]

I imagine he needs some time on the job.

 

[CCBoy]

I don't think that he is a 'China doll.'

He needs this now, and so does the team.

 

[Tabascocat]

He hasn't played in over a year, he needs to get in there now as long as the knee is 100%. We can't afford a hesitant Lee week one while missing Hardy and Ro.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

I say he picks off Eli week 1

 

[Seven]

HELL YAH!!!!

 

[Jstopper]

I wish they would just keep him limited.

I don't. They keep babying him like this he's gonna make it to week 1 healthy sure but he'll be rusty and not as effective. It's 1 month left until the season go ahead and let him go full speed. Get his legs back under him.

 

[Alexander]

I imagine he needs some time on the job.

He specifically needs to get used to playing WILL LB in this defense.

 

[Longboysfan]

And wear a knee brace.

 

[YosemiteSam]

3....2....1.....INJURY!

 

[JohnsKey19]

I imagine there will be 4-5 regular season games where both Lee and McClain will be on the field together. That should be fun to watch

 

[CATCH17]

I don't. They keep babying him like this he's gonna make it to week 1 healthy sure but he'll be rusty and not as effective. It's 1 month left until the season go ahead and let him go full speed. Get his legs back under him.

Well give him some extra Preseason reps but day in and day out I want him to be cuddled by our staff.

 

[Macnalty]

Lets see how he is the day after playing full out(soreness), I saw him chasing the RB after beating Fred at the Oline, almost caught the back from behind. I think we see the real Sean Lee about midway through the season when he has complete trust in that knee. We are really lucky to have him back so quickly and in such great shape.

 

[jazzcat22]

He needs to go full strength if that is what the training staff says. And if Lee feels he is ready. He is not being rushed back in to early. I am sure there will be days off, like the did with room last year.
But they / we need to see him 100% by game one. So there is no hesitation in his play to test his knee then. It needs to be done now. But waiting a week won't hurt.

This is true for any injured player, rather a history of injuries or not. Like McFadden. Keeping him out an extra week does nothing but good at this point. If he is able to go now, then keep him out of what, 3 practices and a game that even Randle won't play in. So he is missing nothing. So maybe do this for Lee too. Then let him go full practice after the SD game.

 

[Seven]

3....2....1.....INJURY!

You're fired from earth.............

 

[Jstopper]

Well give him some extra Preseason reps but day in and day out I want him to be cuddled by our staff.

when you have a dog like Lee you have to let him go. We've coddled him enough, I would have him play in every preseason game and in all the practices. Let him get his legs about him in August when it doesn't count rather than in September, October. If he's gonna get injured now then he's gonna get injured later, let the man play.

You mean cuddled, right?

Free Sean Lee!

 

[DeaconMoss]

Why no knee brace? That's crazy.
