Cowboys Pass Rush 2026 Outlook

Dallas Cowboys’ pass rush faces a major rebuild heading into 2026, with Jadeveon Clowney gone and just 35 sacks last season. Rashan Gary is expected to anchor the unit, while Donovan Ezeiruaku—healthy after offseason surgery—could unlock elite potential. First-round rookie Malachi Lawrence brings athleticism but faces a steep learning curve in a new scheme. Depth is thin, with James Houston’s injury history and Sam Williams as a rotational filler. Success hinges on Ezeiruaku and Lawrence stepping up by midseason to support an offense led by Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb. The goal? A functional, consistent edge group—not a dominant one—that can finally stabilize the defense.
