Defensive tackle Josh Brent officially returned to the NFL on Tuesday when he was activated to the 53-man active roster of the Dallas Cowboys.

Head coach Jason Garrett announced the roster move at his press conference Tuesday afternoon.

Following this week’s bye, Brent is eligible to play Nov. 23 against the New York Giants, his first game since being convicted of intoxication manslaughter in the December 2012 car accident that killed teammate Jerry Brown.

Brent completed a 10-game suspension for his role in the accident.

Brent spent the final 45 days of his 180-day jail sentence in a treatment facility.

Brent signed a one-year contract extension through the 2015 season on Nov. 1. The deal includes no guaranteed money and a base salary of $745,000.

Brent returned to practice two weeks ago, his first workouts with the team since the accident.
