Cowboys Bring in Cardinals’ Ex-Starter Who Was Cut Before Season Finale.
The Dallas Cowboys are showing interest in a former Arizona Cardinals starter.
As noted by NFL reporter Howard Balzer of Cards Wire, the Cowboys hosted defensive lineman Kevin Strong for a workout on Tuesday, August 6. Strong started 11 of his 14 appearances with the Cardinals during the 2023 season before he was abruptly cut prior to the season finale.
“DL Kevin Strong, who was waived by the Cardinals two days before the 2023 season finale because of unknown personal reasons after playing 14 games and starting 11, had a reported visit to the Cowboys Tuesday,” writes Balzer. “He played in college at Texas-San Antonio.”

The 28-year-old Strong initially entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent back in 2019, signing with the Detroit Lions. The 6-foot-4 nose tackle made the 53-man roster out of training camp and appeared in eight games before landing on injured reserve with a season-ending injury. Strong would go on to play six games with the Lions in 2020 and one game in 2021 before being waived.
He would eventually land with the Tennessee Titans, appearing in 21 total games during the 2021 and 2022 seasons. He posted 23 tackles while appearing in 29% of the defensive snaps during the 2022 season.
