PHOENIX - Drew Rosenhaus, the agent for Malik McDowell, says the former Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman has been medically cleared by independent doctors and is expected to play in 2019.
McDowell was drafted in the second round by Seattle in 2017 but never played a down for the team after suffering a head injury in an ATV accident that summer. The Seahawks waived McDowell with an injury designation earlier this month. He has since visited the Dallas Cowboys.
Rosenhaus, speaking from the owners meetings, said of McDowell: "We are confident he is going to be back and playing this year.
