Dallas Cowboys Designate Rookie Linebacker For Return From Injury

He's been out since October.

Harper has been on the injured reserve with an Achilles injury since Oct. 29, and is now eligible to return to practice ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. 

The rookie linebacker now has 21 days to be activated to the Cowboys' active roster, however, he'd likely only be given a special teams role at this point in the season.

The twenty-four-year-old was the Cowboys' sixth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
