Dallas Cowboys face roster concerns heading into 2026 season
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys enter the 2026 season with optimism despite two consecutive losing seasons. Potential vulnerabilities remain across the roster, headlined by concerns over the health and availability of quarterback Dak Prescott. The team also faces uncertainty at the offensive tackle positions, where Tyler Guyton, Terence Steele, and recent arrival Broderick Jones must address depth issues. Defensively, the unit operates under a new scheme led by Christian Parker, creating the possibility of early communication breakdowns. The revamped pass rush, featuring veterans Rashan Gary and Von Miller alongside younger players Donovan Ezeiruaku and Malachi Lawrence, remains untested as a unit. Management must navigate these potential weaknesses to avoid a decline in performance compared to previous years.
