Cowboys give lineman Marcellus Johnson chance to earn roster spot
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys are evaluating offensive tackle Marcellus Johnson as part of their summer practices. Johnson, who is 26 years old and has had a tumultuous career, initially went undrafted in 2024 and has since been with multiple teams, including the New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts. After signing a reserves/future contract with Dallas, he hopes to secure a spot on the roster or at least the practice squad for the upcoming season. His history of bouncing between teams creates a significant challenge for him as he looks to establish himself this summer with the Cowboys.
