Cowboys pass rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku pulled from Saints scrimmage
Donovan Ezeiruaku was ejected from Tuesday’s practice
Oxnard, California - August 3, 2026 - Dallas Cowboys pass rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku was removed from Tuesday's scrimmage against the New Orleans Saints after throwing a punch, a move that is rarely seen in professional sports. This incident marks Ezeiruaku's second such altercation, a troubling trend for the young player. The first instance of Ezeiruaku's disciplinary action occurred during a previous practice.
This pattern of behavior is becoming increasingly concerning for the Cowboys organization, as head coach Brian Schottenheimer has emphasized the need for increased discipline among the team this season. Despite the presence of aggressive play during the scrimmage, Ezeiruaku was singled out for his actions, which warranted an ejection.
It remains to be seen how Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer will address this incident and the overall physicality of the team during their upcoming game against the Saints.
