Jaishawn Barham impresses in green-dot debut for Cowboys against Commanders

In a high-stakes matchup on September 20, 2026, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Jaishawn Barham made his green-dot debut during the game against the Washington Commanders. Filling in for the injured DeMarvion Overshown, Barham successfully led the defense and recorded seven tackles, including a crucial forced fumble that directly contributed to a touchdown. Despite a strong performance, Barham's ability to run the unit will face future challenges as the season progresses. The Cowboys looked more organized compared to their previous outing, indicating potential growth in their defensive execution. Barham's performance was notable given it was only his second NFL game.
