Cowboys | Henry Melton likely to sit Fri Sep 26, 09:32 AM

Dallas Cowboys DT Henry Melton (groin, knee) said he has been a full participant in practice, and his groin and knee feel great.

Dallas Cowboys DT Henry Melton (knee) is on track to be ready for training camp. Melton said his knee is doing fine. "I think you've got to be smart about guys like that," Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said. "Obviously Henry's a pro. He's been to the Pro Bowl. He knows how to play the game. He's also coming off a significant injury. I think everything our doctors say is he's right on time."
| Footballguys view: Melton looked like a rising star before tearing his ACL last year, so the Cowboys will be counting on a big bounceback to anchor their very weak defensive line and defensive unit. |

| Footballguys view: That's a great move for Dallas, as his both his guaranteed money and per season money is in line with what he got as a franchise tagged DT last year. Chances are, he would get more than that on the open market if he plays up to pre-ACL tear levels. |
