What happened: Dallas lists Dee Winters and DeMarvion Overshown as its linebackers on the unofficial depth chart. The remaining competitions affect separate levels of the secondary.

Why it matters: The unresolved roles leave part of the defensive alignment unsettled as the 2026 regular season opens. Dallas must determine whether either competition warrants a rotation.

What to watch: The pregame lineup and opening defensive series will reveal how Dallas resolves both jobs.
