Josh Brent wasn't at Valley Ranch for the start of voluntary workouts with the Dallas Cowboys. Don't expect to see him any time soon. Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said the team has asked the nose tackle to stay away from the Cowboys until his legal situation has more clarity. "The league hasn't had any sanctions on him," Jones said Tuesday on KRLD-FM in Dallas, via ESPN.com. "The more important thing for Josh right now is to focus on the issues at hand for himself, and obviously, he's got some legal issues he's going to be working through, not to mention all the personal issues that are involved with what he was involved with. That's what he's focused on right now." Brent was arrested on charges of DUI last December following a single-car accident that took the life of Cowboys teammate Jerry Brown Jr. Brent is scheduled to go on trial on Sept. 23 on charges of intoxication manslaughter. He could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Source: NFL.com
So his trial is September 23rd and he's told to stay away from the team until his status becomes clearer? So miss OTAs, Training Camp and 2 weeks of the season?
he isn't going to be playing this year anyway, and i think they just aren't cutting him for sentimental reasons at this point. the only reason they're asking him to stay away is so people don't snitch lol
