The Dallas Cowboys did not receive good news on first-year offensive lineman Marcus Martin, as his injury suffered in San Francisco will likely require season-ending surgery. Martin was signed this offseason as a backup guard/center, and without him the Cowboys have a need for further depth up front. Working out six players at positions of need today, the team has signed former Arizona lineman Jacob Alsadek.

This is Alsadek’s second stop in the NFL, as he spent most of May with the Green Bay Packers before being released. Alsadek was the cut when the Packers signed former Cowboys Tackle Byron Bell.
Players Cowboys worked out today:
Darren Carrington, WR
Jacob Alsadek, OL
Daronte Bouldin, OL
Dominick Sanders, S
Ryan Murphy, S

The 6’7″, 312 pound guard went undrafted in this year’s AT&T Stadium hosted draft. He was set to play in the Alliance of American Football League, with an inaugural season scheduled for February.
Now, he’s a member of America’s Team with a real chance to compete for a backup spot on the best offensive line in the league.
Very tall for a OG. Might be better to try him at OT and stop asking Chad Green to backup there. If Green has any NFL future it’s on the interior.
