Cowboys' McCarthy: Albert Huggins Apologized for Knocking Down Rams Staffer on Video

The Albert Huggins situation has been addressed by the Dallas Cowboys.

The Cowboys nose tackle pushed over a Los Angeles Rams staff member during the two team's joint practice on Monday, causing outrage from the Rams side. Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that Huggins apologized and that he is comfortable with Huggins' apology.

"His behavior was unacceptable. It's been addressed," McCarthy said, per Michelle Montaine of WFAA. "He has apologized. I'm comfortable with his apology.... That behavior is not what we're about. He clearly understands that."

McCarthy elaborated by saying that "emotional discipline in that moment" is what the Cowboys believe in and that Huggins' actions were "not what we are about."

Huggins was reportedly told by the Cowboys staff to exit the practice immediately following the incident.

He is entering his fifth season in the NFL and Dallas will be his fifth different franchise. He saw his most consistent usage in 2023 for the Atlanta Falcons, appearing in 13 games and registering 22 tackles and two quarterback hits.

He will hope to find a role with Dallas, but the training camp antics will make him need to earn some trust back.
