Cowboys sign UDFA Tommy Dunn as defensive tackle ahead of training camp
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys have signed undrafted free agent Tommy Dunn from Kansas as they prepare for training camp. Dunn, who is 6-foot-3 and weighs 305 pounds, is expected to contribute as both a run stuffer and part-time pass rusher. The Cowboys did not select a typical big-bodied defensive tackle in the draft and instead brought in veteran Otito Ogbonnia for rotation at the nose tackle position. With various new signings instead of a prototypical tackle, how the defensive depth chart will shape up remains uncertain prior to the initial roster cuts in August.
