DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The Dallas Cowboys got some more depth on their defense on Wednesday afternoon, when linebacker Damone Clark was activated from the off of the reserve list.
The Cowboys placed Clark on the Non-Football Injury list after selecting him in the fifth-round in the draft this past April.
According to reports, Clark's rehab has gone smoothly, and if he performs to the Cowboys satisfaction over the 21-day period, he could be added to the active roster.
A former first team All-SEC performer and a finalist for the Butkus Award, which goes to the nation's top linebacker, Clark is a first round talent who's stock slipped due to injury.
Clark underwent spinal fusion surgery to repair a herniated disk that was discovered during the NFL Scouting Combine, and which has sideline him thus far.
Before being sidetracked with the injury, Clark was one of the most dominant defensive players in college football, finishing the 2021 season with 135 tackles -- the second most in the country.
Clark also added 15.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks and two forced fumbles last season.
If Clark is able to return at full strength, his initial contributions to the team would likely come through special teams.
