Offensive lineman La'el Collins, who hasn't played in the NFL since 2022, has signed with the Cowboys after he worked out with the team Friday, a source confirmed to ESPN.

If healthy, Collins can help solidify a Cowboys offensive line that was recently hit with an injury to starting left tackle Tyler Guyton. Cowboys coach Brian Schottheimer recently tabbed Asim Richards and Nate Thomas as two players "who'll get the first couple cracks" to temporarily replace Guyton, who is slated to miss the next 4-6 weeks.

Before his workout with the Cowboys, La'el Collins told Dak Prescott's kids that he was going to "protect your daddy."

After numerous scuffles broke out in practice, first-year coach Brian Schottenheimer attempted to take control of his session by making the team run. Even some of the members of the coaching staff were told to join the players.

Dallas Cowboys first-year coach Brian Schottenheimer, miffed at his team's handful of brawls in last week's training camp workouts, promised his players there would be punishment for more foolishness.

When the Dallas Cowboys wouldn't stop fighting, coach Brian Schottenheimer made them run. During a noticeably fraught practice in what has been an aggressive training camp, Schottenheimer stepped in Wednesday after a heated red-zone drill led to the third fight of the day.
