Former Oklahoma and current Dallas Cowboys DT Gerald McCoy suffered an apparent leg injury during practice on Monday, per NFL’s Ian Rapoport.
#Cowboys veteran DT Gerald McCoy went down in practice with an apparent leg injury, I’m told. The severity is unclear, but something to watch for moving forward.

The six-time Pro Bowler has dealt with a handful of injuries throughout his career, including a knee injury toward the end of the 2014 season.
He spent the first nine seasons of his career in Tampa Bay before being released in May 2019. He was signed by the Carolina Panthers two weeks later.
He enjoyed a resurgent season in Carolina, racking up 37 tackles and 5 sacks. He also played in all 16 games for the first time since 2013.
On March 31, McCoy signed a three-year deal with the Cowboys.
If Gerald McCoy's injury is serious, I would expect Tyrone Crawford to see even more snaps inside at DT.
