Hunter Luepke exited Tuesday’s Dallas Cowboys practice. The exact reason why remains unclear at this time.

Tuesday was a bigger practice than normal for the Cowboys as it was a scrimmage with the New Orleans Saints. Luepke was not alone in exiting it as Saints running back Alvin Kamara also left the field.

Luepke has a spot on the roster that is in no way in question as the team’s starting fullback. He has managed to make a name for himself in that role for several years now.
Coincidentally, Luepke’s name was in the news earlier in the day. New signee Von Miller had a press conference before Tuesday’s joint practice and in it he noted that he has made an offer to Luepke to procure the number 40 from him.
Whatever is going on with Luepke, hopefully all is well. And with Alvin Kamara.
We will update this post as more information becomes available.
