The Dallas Cowboys are struggling this season with a 3-7 record, marking their worst start since 2020. Currently on a five-game losing streak, the team faces challenges particularly in their defensive line depth following the departure of key players.
Injuries have plagued the Cowboys, with Sam Williams out due to an ACL tear and Marshawn Kneeland returning from a knee injury. As a result, their scoring defense has plummeted from fifth-best in 2023 to second-worst in 2024.
Head coach Mike McCarthy expressed pride in former players Dorance Armstrong and Dante Fowler Jr., who are now performing well with the Washington Commanders, despite the Cowboys' struggles.
