FRISCO, Texas — The Dallas Cowboys held a workout for four players on Tuesday, as they work to fill remaining spots on the roster going into training camp. The four workouts included defensive end Jonathan Garvin, defensive end Wyatt Ray, defensive end Derick Roberson and running back/fullback John Lovett.

Garvin, who played this past spring in the UFL with the Birmingham Stallions, recorded 20 tackles and 3.5 sacks for the UFL champions. Originally a product of Miami, Garvin was drafted in the seventh round by the Green Bay Packers in the 2020 NFL Draft. In three seasons in the NFL, Garvin recorded 32 tackles and 1.5 sacks. He was released in July 2023 before landing in the UFL.

Ray, who played this past spring in the UFL with the San Antonio Brahmas, recorded 24 tackles and 5.5 sacks (tied for sixth in the UFL) last season. Ray was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Cleveland Browns out of Boston College in 2019 but was waived after his rookie training camp. He would then find his way to eight different NFL teams including 15 game appearances with the Cincinnati Bengals, five appearances with the Tennessee Titans and three appearances with the Denver Broncos. He is the grandson of legendary jazz singer Nat King Cole and the nephew of Natalie Cole.

Roberson, who played this past spring in the UFL with the DC Defenders, recorded 32 tackles and 4.5 sacks. A native of San Antonio, Roberson attended Sam Houston State before going undrafted in 2019. He made 16 game appearances with the Tennessee Titans and recorded 26 tackles and 4.5 sacks in his time in the league. He played one season with the Houston Roughnecks of the XFL in 2023 before being sent to DC this past season.

Lovett, who played this spring in the UFL with the San Antonio Brahmas, was fifth in the league in rushing with 423 yards and second in the UFL with five rushing touchdowns. Lovett played his college ball at Baylor and Penn State where he rushed for 1,980 yards and 17 touchdowns in five seasons. He signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers out of college as an undrafted free agent before being released after his rookie training camp.

The Cowboys have 88 players on the roster with four weeks left until the team departs for training camp, but they can technically sign three more players (max of 91 instead of 90) with a roster exemption from International Pathway Program player Denzel Daxon.
