Cowboys News: Hooker transaction pending, opportunities abound for redemption
Dak Prescott’s mobility has looked amazing since hitting the field after his compound fracture and ankle dislocation in 2020. So much so, that he’s hoping for some preseason reps. Ezekiel Elliott has been in the lab getting his body in the best shape of his career, and he’s done so with the mindset of proving his performance last season will be a distant memory in 2021.
The search for a playmaking free safety has been something the Dallas Cowboys haven’t seemed to be all that interested in over the years. However, after a visit in March, free-agent Malik Hooker is set to meet with the Cowboys again and is expected to sign. Bradlee Anae’s opportunity for playing time, Blake Jarwin reaching a milestone, multiple cornerbacks shining in the first training camp practice, and a lot more led the way in Friday’s news and notes.
