Cowboys coach Jason Garrett expressed disappointment Tuesday that second-year left guard Ron Leary got tired in the preseason-opening 24-20 win over Miami on Sunday while taking every offensive snap.
“Ron played 62 plays in the game and did a lot of good things,” Garrett said during his news conference in Oxnard, Calif. “He was strong, physical and explosive. But he also got tired.
