Quick Facts

2026 Outlook
Rashan Gary joins the Cowboys as their most accomplished edge rusher on the active roster after being acquired in a trade from Green Bay. Last season he posted 7.5 sacks for the Packers but managed none in his final nine games, raising some durability or motivation concerns. Cowboys' coaching staff calls him a "grown-ass man" who brings consistent effort and pressure. Gary himself emphasizes his work ethic: "I'm a dog, man. I play with a lot of effort, cause a lot of pressure." He anchors the Cowboys' depth-focused pass rush approach rather than being the star pass rusher. (per Lacking a star, Cowboys lean on depth for their pass rush)
Role / Depth Chart
Edge rusher for Dallas Cowboys defense; anchor of depth-based pass rush group alongside second-year player Donovan Ezeiruaku and first-round pick Malachi Lawrence.
Injury Status
