Cowboys defensive linemen have injured themselves in a variety of ways this year and now you can add lifting weights to the list.
Defensive tackle Davon Coleman hurt his left calf while working out on Monday and was on crutches in the team’s locker room on Tuesday. Coleman explained that he was doing squats when he suffered the injury, but downplayed its seriousness.
“I’ll probably play this week,” Coleman said, via the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “I’m happy it was in the weight room instead of the field because it’s nothing too serious.”
Coleman signed with the team as an undrafted free agent in the spring and got a start in the season opener with Henry Melton still making his way back to full speed. Coleman played a lot in Week Two as well, recording five tackles in the victory over the Titans, and has seen the fourth-most snaps of all Cowboys defensive linemen over the first two games.
