The Cowboys added another defensive tackle, signing former first-round pick Amobi Okoye.

He is another of defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli's former players, having played for him in Chicago in 2011 and 2012, when he appeared in 25 games. The 26-year-old out of Louisville was out of football last year.

The 6-foot-2, 302-pound Okoye, born in Nigeria, was drafted by the Houston Texans with the No. 10 pick in the first round in 2007. He spent four seasons with the Texans, starting 58 games. He had 5.5 sacks as a rookie and 4.0 in his first year with the Bears.

The Cowboys also released linebacker James Stewart.
