Sunday could be last game for Linval Joseph with Cowboys

by | Jan 4, 2025

When the Dallas Cowboys face the Washington Commanders on Sunday, it could be the final time we see ECU alum Linval Joseph wearing the star.

SI.com reports Joseph is one of seven players who likely won’t be back next season. The defensive lineman was signed with hopes of creating the same kind of spark he had with Cowboys coach Mike Zimmer when both were with the Minnesota Vikings.

Joseph has 19 tackles and two sacks this season.
