FRISCO, Texas – When the Cowboys drafted Chidobe Awuzie in the second round last April, they probably figured he would have a start under his belt before Week 13 of the season.
Injuries that began in training camp have plagued him for most of the year but with the Cowboys down to just five games left in the year and fighting to stay alive in the playoff picture, the rookie from Colorado appears to be getting close to his first start.
The Cowboys have yet to announce any official lineup changes and likely won’t until a couple of hours before kickoff Thursday night, but head coach Jason Garrett said there would definitely be competition for spots in the secondary with the hint of possible changes.
