Victor Johnson (#3) returns to the gridiron after a brief hiatus

As preseason football comes to full swing in Stillwater, Coach Mike Gundy is easing the noose around the neck of Victor Johnson. Despite being charged last month with driving while intoxicated and then possession of marijuana, Coach Gundy is allowing his free safety to return to the field in a limited capacity.

The Waco, Texas native was not expected to see the field until the disposition of his criminal cases. However, after the loss of safety Daytawion Lowe and a complete evaluation of the Cowboy’s secondary, Gundy recognized that he will need his talented safety on the field as the Cowboys lack in talent and depth in the secondary.

Depending on how successful practice goes for Johnson will presumably determine if he will face any suspension at all for his arrests. The Cowboys open up the season with the worst team in the BCS, Washington State, on September 4th. It’s almost a guarantee that Johnson will be dressed for that game.

Again, when it comes to winning in Stillwater, everything else is brushed aside.
