Cowboys ranked fourth among NFC East pass-rushing units for 2026

Summary

The Dallas Cowboys are ranked fourth in the NFC East for pass-rushing units, according to Yahoo Sports. Their evaluation highlights the team as having effort-based players but lacking speed rushers. New first-round pick Malachi Lawrence is seen as a potential answer in the future, although rookies typically require development time. The Philadelphia Eagles, Washington Commanders, and New York Giants occupy the top three spots, with the Giants boasting a strong edge rusher lineup, including Brian Burns. The rankings come after evaluations of all team positions in the division, signifying a shift toward defense in the upcoming season.
