Cowboys' Shavon Revel: Unlikely to play in season opener

Revel (knee) is unlikely to be ready for the start of the regular season, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The cornerback continues to rehab an ACL that he tore last September while playing for East Carolina. Revel fell to the 76th pick in the draft as a result of the injury and began training camp on the active/non-football injury list. Once healthy, Revel should have an opportunity to carve out a meaningful role in the Cowboys' secondary.
