Shavon Revel is likely to start the season on PUP, according to Stephen Jones.
The Dallas Cowboys spent their third-round draft pick on East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr. and the value on him was absolutely incredible given that a lot of draft analysts thought his potential was to go in the second or even first round.
Unfortunately for Revel, he fell to the third round due to an ACL injury that he suffered last season. The Cowboys are fortunate in that Dr. Cooper happened to perform his surgery which gave them an advantage from a knowledge perspective and all of the conversation in the aftermath of the selection has suggested that he will be good to go for training camp.
In the team’s press conference following Day 2 of the draft, Stephen Jones threw a little bit of cold water on that idea. Jones noted that Revel will likely start the season off on PUP which certainly isn’t the end of the world. Takings things slow is wise and there is no real consequence to it while the team is at training camp, even though Revel is obviously a rookie.
Time will ultimately tell and the Cowboys are obviously invested in Revel now, but keep that in mind as we move forward into the next part of the offseason.
