Cowboys Activate Brent
{fshare id=5726}
The Dallas Cowboys activated defensive tackle Josh Brent on Tuesday, almost two years after a drunken-driving crash that killed a teammate and led to his conviction for intoxication manslaughter.
The NFL granted his petition for reinstatement before this season but suspended him for the first 10 games.
Brent has been practicing with the Cowboys for two weeks, but coach Jason Garrett has not indicated when he will be ready to play, saying he is overweight.
The 26-year-old Brent last played in a game on Dec. 2, 2012, six days before the crash that killed teammate Jerry Brown in the Dallas suburb of Irving.
