Dallas Cowboys linebacker Damien Wilson was arrested Tuesday night and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to Frisco, Texas, police.

Wilson was arrested at Toyota Stadium during Frisco's Freedom Fest. He was released from the Frisco Detention Center on a $10,000 bond for each count.

The case is still under investigation and the police did not release further information. A Cowboys spokesman said the team is aware of the situation and gathering information but would not have comment at this time. Wilson could face sanctions from the NFL's personal conduct policy in the form of a fine or suspension even if a case is dropped.

He is the second Cowboy to be arrested this offseason. Cornerback Nolan Carroll was charged with DWI in late May when he was driving on the wrong side of the road. He could face a two-game suspension under the league's substance-abuse policy

Wilson played in every game last season, making six starts at strong-side linebacker. He was credited with 35 tackles by the coaches with a half sack, four tackles for loss, three quarterback pressures and a pass deflection.

He is expected to be a starter again in 2017 and received extensive work in the offseason program with the Cowboys limiting the work of Sean Lee and Jaylon Smith. Wilson was slowed at the start of training camp last summer after he suffered an eye injury while playing paintball.

Jerry's home for troubled youth is working out just fine.

I go ahead and bring in Daryl Washington (as Booze suggested) and Zach Orr to kick those tires.

Red's "culture change" swings and misses yet again.

Unfortunately we'll probably stand pat and start Wilber or some jag in his place if he's suspended
As veteran adverse as this team is, I would be shocked if we signed anything other than some schlub you have never heard of.

Who was it crediting Garrett with changing the culture in the other thread?

It would be hard to "start" anyone since Wilson likely a backup.
No, he was pretty much our starting strong side LB down the stretch last year. That is not a three down position, but he was on track to start nonetheless.

Wilson had been getting most of the 1st team snaps at Sam during OTA's.
Yeah but Jaylon Smith is still working back slowly. Wilson shifts down to fourth LBer at that point. Behind Lee, Smith and Hitchens. Lots of guys were "starting" during OTA's who won't be anywhere close to starting when the season starts.

I bet we cut him to send a message to the rest of the team.

It sounds like he hit someone with a car after the dispute over a parking space. :picard
