The 24-year-old will now spend the remainder of the preseason competing for a spot on the final roster.
Mukuamu is dealing with a groin injury, Clarence Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Mukuamu was announced to be dealing with an undisclosed injury last week, but it is now confirmed he hurt his groin. The 24-year-old was slated to serve as Donovan Wilson's backup at strong safety but is now in danger of missing the start of the regular season due to injury.
Mukuamu is expected to miss ssome time with an undisclosed injury, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. There is no word on the nature of Mukuamu's injury, nor how long he is expected to be sidelined. The 24-year-old has seen the field in 29 regular-season games for Dallas over the previous two seasons, recording 23 tackles (16 solo), one pass defended and one fumble recovered in the process. When healthy, he projects to again provide depth in the secondary this season.
