Sources: DT Henry Melton will be cleared to open Cowboys training camp

Henry Melton will be cleared to take part in the Cowboys first practice of training camp, sources said.

The defensive tackle must pass Wednesday’s physical before his status becomes official. But club officials don’t anticipate any red flags to appear in Melton’s return from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. He was held out of team drills during the off-season, but never once missed a rehabilitation session or suffered a setback.

Melton, the Cowboys most significant free agent acquisition, is being counted on to start at the defensive tackle spot that opened up with Jason Hatcher’s departure. He played in only three games for Chicago in 2013 before suffering his season-ending injury, but has maintained all along that he would be ready to open training camp.

It really wasn't all that long ago that a torn ACL was a guaranteed career ender.
