OG Nate Livings Returns: “It Felt Good”

Livings came to Dallas as a free agent this offseason after spending six years with Cincinnati

In dismissing the idea of injured receiver Miles Austin returning this week, owner and general manager Jerry Jones mentioned that guard Nate Livings might return, after missing the last couple of weeks with a hamstring issue--and sure enough, Livings got back on the practice field on Monday. Afterward, Livings was encouraged by the day of work.

“It’s just getting back, getting my feet back under me, getting to hit different guys,’’ said Livings, per the Dallas Morning News. “It felt good.

“All good, baby.’’

Dallas brought Livings in this offseason with the idea that he would fill one of the starting guard spots, after spending six seasons with Cincinnati. Particularly following a long layoff from action, the Cowboys believe Livings’ experience in the league will be key.

“He’s played in this league,” Jason Garrett said. “He needs to play in our offense more, the communication playing next to guys, the different adjustments we need to make. But he’s got a very calm demeanor up there, a quiet intensity about him we like. He’s a professional.

“It’s good to get him back here.’’
