Cowboys Rookie Ezeiruaku Sidelined After Hip Surgery

Monday, March 2, 2026 at 12:00 PM

Dallas Cowboys second-round draft pick Donovan Ezeiruaku is on the mend following hip surgery to fix a torn labrum. The 22-year-old pass rusher may miss activities until training camp begins but should be ready for limited participation during organized team activities.

Dallas Cowboys rookie defender Donovan Ezeiruaku is on the road to recovery after undergoing hip surgery and may remain out of action through the beginning of training camp, according to an ESPN report released Monday.

The second-round selection from the 2025 NFL Draft had surgery to fix a torn labrum approximately five weeks ago, though he’s expected to be cleared for limited participation during organized team activities, the report indicates.

The 22-year-old player is set to make a position change this season, shifting from his previous role as a defensive end to outside linebacker as Dallas implements a 3-4 defensive system under newly appointed defensive coordinator Christian Parker.

During his first NFL season in 2025, Ezeiruaku saw action in every game throughout the 17-game schedule, earning starting assignments in nine contests. His rookie statistics included two quarterback sacks, 12 quarterback pressures, 40 total tackles with nine resulting in losses, one forced fumble, and one safety. He logged 604 defensive snaps along with 85 special teams plays.
