Dallas Cowboys Have ‘Intel’ on Texas Longhorns’ Jonathon Brooks Injury, Set Draft Visit

Texas Longhorns running back Jonathon Brooks continues to work his way back from a torn ACL this past season, but that’s hardly preventing teams from maintaining a high level of interest in him.

Per Cowboys.com’s Nick Harris, the Dallas Cowboys have scheduled a top-30 draft visit with Brooks. Harrison reports that Brooks is “expected” to be ready for training camp should Dallas draft him.

Aside from the in-state connection, Brooks and the Cowboys have already gotten familiar with each other. This appears to be playing a significant factor in Dallas’ interest in the standout running back.

Per Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys team doctor performed Brooks’ surgery.

“Brooks surgery was done by Cowboys team doctor,” Hill tweeted. “They have all the intel on his rehab and recovery.”
