Cowboys’ Donovan Ezeiruaku Has Hip Labrum Surgery, Expected Back for Training Camp

Dallas’ 3-4 transition heightens the need to add pass-rush depth.

Overview

  • Ezeiruaku is five weeks removed from a hip labrum procedure, which the team confirmed on Monday.
  • He is expected to miss most on-field spring work, including OTAs and likely minicamp, with walkthrough participation still possible.
  • The recovery timeline targets full availability for training camp as Dallas installs Christian Parker’s defense.
  • With a shift to a 3-4 and Ezeiruaku projected at outside linebacker, Dallas is evaluating edge help in the draft and free agency as Jadeveon Clowney, Sam Williams and Dante Fowler hit the market.
  • In his rookie season, the 2025 second-round pick posted 40 tackles, seven tackles for loss and 43 pressures, though he recorded only two sacks.
