APThe only returning starter in the Cowboys secondary may not be able to start training camp next week.
Todd Archer of ESPNDallas.com reports that safety Gerald Sensabaugh could miss the start of camp after a recent arthoscopic knee surgery. The procedure was described as a clean-up, which is what teams and players say when trying to minimize the alarm.
Sensabaugh missed several OTA workouts and the June minicamp because of soreness in the right knee.
The Cowboys report to their facility July 25, but veterans don’t begin practice i Oxnard, Calif., until July 30. It’s unclear how much Sensabaugh will be able to do then.
With new corners Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne and safety Brodney Pool, Sensabaugh was the lone link to last year’s defensive backfield.
Now former undrafted rookie Barry Church and fourth-rounder Matt Johnson will have a chance at more repetitions early in camp.
Sensabaugh signed a five-year extension last December, and has been durable for the Cowboys, missing just one game in three years.

This is the same as him being on the field, he’s non-existent to good passing teams.
Cowboys fans, do you really think you’re stopping ANYONE with Gerald and Brodney as your starting safeties?
This d is going to be strong. Why not try jenkins to fill in.?
Sensabaugh is a pretty good safety. Sure he has a few lapses here and there but he is in the top 15 in the league. He will be greatly helped by the new corners.
non existent? he was the only player worth a damn in the cowboys secondary last year. you should probably try watching a cowboys game before you comment.
Everytime I hear of this guy, I remember the lick he took from Greg Jones back in college (NC vs FSU)

I watched a couple cowboy games – i watched enough to see eli go up and down the field at will against ryans terrible defense…..
My mistake, that was the other safety from NC, Dexter Reid.
I got a good feeling about this matt johnson dude…this could be his chance to bump one of the vets
That was Newman and Ball getting burned by Cruz. Thankfully, they are gone.
This is going to open the door for rookie Matt Johnson. I’m not convinced he is ready to play in the NFL yet but he will get a good look in camp and preseason now.
