So that means what most of us thought. 2026 return.
You know, I always wondered how much better we might have played in 2014 had Sean Lee been able to return late in the season and join us for the playoffs.
That 2014 squad was unexpectedly very good, but more importantly, they showed a clutch factor about them that had long been missing from the Dallas Cowboys since the 1990s.
That's why of all of our losses since turn of the century, it's that game at the Packers that hurts me the most because that was the ONE team that actually had the intangibles to make it to a SB.
Anyway, my point is, that team was clutch and that defense found a way to get late stops and force turnovers time and time again to seal wins. But by the time we got to January, Rolando McClain's effectiveness had worn off and he was a non-factor and it would have been nice to have another playmaker step up on defense to fill that void.
I always wondered what might have happened had Lee joined in late.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, even if this guy can't play until December of next year, that's a plus. You never know what position we might be in at that time and just how much his addition to the active roster could end up helping us.
