Cowboys sign undrafted rookie OL DJ Wingfield for 2026 season
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys have added DJ Wingfield, an undrafted rookie offensive lineman, to their 2026 roster following his participation in their rookie minicamp. Wingfield, who missed the 2025 season due to an eligibility issue, previously played at Purdue after stints at a community college and New Mexico. He was expected to be part of the competition for a backup offensive line position during training camp. With the injury of veteran Matt Hennessy, the offensive line may provide Wingfield a chance to secure a spot, though he faces significant competition from other candidates.
