A veteran defensive player will join the Dallas Cowboys for training camp.

According to an official announcement revealed by the Cowboys, the team is adding a veteran linebacker in James Houston. The former sixth-round pick previously had stints with the Detroit Lions and the Cleveland Browns.

Houston entered the NFL after runs at Florida and Jackson State. After the 2021 NCAA season, Houston was selected 217th overall by the Lions.

The Dallas Cowboys’ decision to add Houston to their roster not only reflects the coaching staff’s appreciation for his abilities, but also represents a long-term strategy to bolster the team’s already stellar defense. With experience playing for many teams, Houston brings diversity and depth to the linebacker position, helping the team prepare for any challenges of the new season.

Dallas Cowboys fans have reason to expect a blend of Houston’s warrior spirit and the team’s winning tradition. This addition promises to create many decisive stops, helping the team maintain its position and aim for the championship.

The Cowboys will kick off camp on Tuesday. Houston will get an opportunity to make the most of his new situation as he joins the third franchise of his young career.
