It didn’t take long after the Dallas Cowboys waived former LSU linebacker [autotag]Jabril Cox[/autotag] that he landed with an NFC East rival.
The Washington Commanders have added Cox to their practice squad, according to a report from NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
A fourth-round pick in 2021, Cox’s rookie season was cut short by a torn ACL in Week 8. Last season, he appeared in nine games, recording just six tackles.
A four-year player at North Dakota State, Cox joined the Tigers as a graduate transfer for the 2020 season, where he was one of the best defensive players on a 5-5 team. He was a two-time FCS All-American during his stint with the Bison.
The #Commanders are signing LB Jabril Cox to their practice squad, source says. The #Cowboys discussed bringing him back on their practice squad, but Cox opts for the fresh start elsewhere in the NFC East with a team that had a high grade on him before the 2021 NFL Draft.
