The Cowboys can win the NFC East by beating the Commanders in Week 18.
The team could be adding a couple of veteran players to the practice squad that used to play for the team as they get set for the postseason.
Free-agent offensive tackle La’el Collins reportedly could be on the verge of a return as NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Collins is set to work out for the Cowboys on Tuesday, and if he passes his physical, the Cowboys could sign him to their practice squad and allow him to “work his way into football shape.”
Dallas originally signed Collins as an undrafted free agent out of LSU in 2015 and he established himself as a key part of the offensive line, starting 11 of the 12 games he appeared in as a rookie.
Overall, Collins made 71 starts and played in 74 games for the Cowboys over six seasons.
He was so good that he signed a five-year, $50 million contract extension in 2019, but injuries cost but an injury cost him the 2020 campaign and then he got suspended five games in 2021 for missing multiple drug tests and allegedly trying to bribe the collector.

He was released prior to the 2022 season and signed a three-year, $21 million deal with the Bengals.
Collins, who spent the first six seasons of his career in Dallas, was released by the Cincinnati Bengals in September and has not appeared in a game this season.
