The Facts: The Cowboys' injury-riddled 2020 campaign saw so many big-name players go down with injury, Jarwin's Week 1 ACL tear gets lost in the shuffle. Projected as a breakout candidate last season, Jarwin saw his year end after a single catch. Jarwin has been mostly restricted to rehab work during Cowboys OTAs as he recovers from the ACL tear. "There's really no reason, I guess, to rush into it," he said. "Just make sure that I'm feeling good -- and I feel good. I'll just keep pushing along, and I anticipate, Day 1 of training camp, being ready to roll."
Diehards Line:
The 26-year-old was expected to play a significant role last fall. His Week 1 injury provided Dalton Schultz the opportunity to snag those targets. Jarwin's return in 2021 could set up a training-camp battle for reps between the tight ends. That said, with the Cowboys trio of receivers -- Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup -- and Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard out of the backfield, it's questionable how much room there will be for two-tight end sets outside of big-ball scenarios. More likely, Schultz and Jarwin will battle for snaps. Jarwin's No. 1 goal right now is simply being ready for that competition. "I'm excited, and my goal is to be the best I've ever been by Day 1 of training camp and carry that into the season, and let's just roll from there," he said.
