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.
