The Dallas Cowboys are bolstering their linebacker corps with the signing of Jack Sanborn from the Chicago Bears, following the unfortunate ACL injury to DeMarvion Overshown. Sanborn, a former undrafted free agent from Wisconsin, reunites with his former coaches in Dallas, including defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus and linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi. Over 48 career games, Sanborn has accumulated 164 tackles and 4.5 sacks.

This move aims to address the depth issues at linebacker as the Cowboys look to maintain competitive strength. Sanborn will compete for a starting position alongside Damone Clark and Marist Liufau in Overshown's absence, stepping into a role left open by the departure of veteran Eric Kendricks.
