Donovan Ezeiruaku undergoes hip surgery, possibly out until training camp

"Donovan Ezeiruaku had surgery on his hip labrum. This will prevent him from fully participating in OTAs and likely minicamp, but he's expected to be ready for training camp in July."

"As a rookie, Ezeiruaku played as an edge rusher under former defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. He played in all 17 games with nine starts and logged 40 tackles (nine tackles for loss), two sacks, and 12 quarterback hits."

"Under new defensive coordinator Christian Parker, the Cowboys will adjust to more of a 3-4 front. This means that Ezeiruaku will switch to an outside linebacker along with Marist Liufau. He will be responsible for setting the edge, disrupting the quarterback, and occasionally dropping back into coverage."

As a rookie, Ezeiruaku played all 17 games with nine starts, recording 40 tackles, nine tackles for loss, two sacks, and 12 quarterback hits while playing 604 defensive snaps. Under new defensive coordinator Christian Parker, the Cowboys are transitioning to a 3-4 defensive scheme. Ezeiruaku will shift from edge rusher to outside linebacker, where he'll set the edge, disrupt quarterbacks, and provide coverage support alongside Marist Liufau.
