Rodney Harrison joins Mike Florio and Chris Simms to share his top disrespected players in the NFL with Dak Prescott taking the top spot.

The Cowboys activated receiver Jon’Vea Johnson and cornerback Saivion Smith from the reserve/COVID-19 list, the team announced Sunday.

Johnson and Smith are the Cowboys’ only players to spend time on the COVID-19 list thus far, though fullback Jamize Olawale, cornerback Maurice Canady and rookie receiver Stephen Guidry opted out of the 2020 season.

Johnson was on his way to finding a spot with the team a year ago before injuring his arm. He spent his rookie season on injured reserve.

His return led the team to waive undrafted rookie receiver Kendrick Rogers.

Smith, a first-year player from Alabama, spent training camp with the Jaguars in 2019. Jacksonville cut him out of the preseason.

Smith was not with a team last season but had a brief stint with the XFL before signing with the Cowboys in April.
