The Dallas Cowboys are enhancing their defense in 2026 with key acquisitions in both the defensive line and secondary, including Rashan Gary and Caleb Downs. The defensive line, bolstered by Quinnen Williams, aims to improve against the run and pass, while the secondary seeks to recover from a poor 2025 season. Downs is expected to greatly impact the secondary’s effectiveness, providing flexibility in coverage. Overall, both units need to complement each other for a successful season, with training camp serving as a crucial evaluation period.
