Dallas Cowboys Adjust Roster Amid Defensive Struggles, Explore Trade Options

The Dallas Cowboys are facing challenges on defense despite a strong offensive performance this season. The team is preparing for Week 8 with a 3-3-1 record and is considering adding linebackers like Cincinnati Bengals' Logan Wilson and Houston Texans' Christian Harris to bolster their struggling defense. DeMarvion Overshown is expected to return soon, which may impact current linebacker Kenneth Murray Jr.'s role. On the defensive line, rookie Donovan Ezeiruaku is emerging as a promising replacement for underperforming defensive end Sam Williams. Meanwhile, the secondary is anticipated to gain depth with the return of Shavon Revel from injury. Although the Cowboys have a deep wide receiver group, including CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Jonathan Mingo, their defensive issues remain a key focus heading into the trade deadline and the rest of the season.
