Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Gerald McCoy sustained an injury to his lower right leg Monday in the team’s first padded practice of training camp.
ESPN reported it was a knee injury, and the Dallas Morning News said the 32-year-old veteran would undergo an MRI.
The injury occurred early in practice at the Ford Center in Frisco, Texas.
The Cowboys signed McCoy to a three-year, $18 million contract in free agency on March 31.
A six-time Pro Bowl selection during his nine seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2010-18), McCoy registered 37 tackles, 13 quarterback hits and five sacks in 16 starts with the Carolina Panthers in 2019.
Through 139 career games (all starts), the No. 3 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft has posted 292 tackles, 59.5 sacks and six forced fumbles. He made the All-Pro first team in 2013.
