Cowboys Seek Defensive Reinforcements Ahead of Divisional Showdown
11 Sep
Summary
- Cowboys fail to sign veteran Jadeveon Clowney
- Cornerback DaRon Bland suffers new foot injury
- Wideout George Pickens concerned about costly penalty

As of September 11th, 2025, the Dallas Cowboys are still tinkering with their defensive roster in preparation for a divisional clash. Earlier this week, the team invited former No. 1 overall draft pick Jadeveon Clowney to their facility for a meeting, sparking hopes of a marquee signing. However, the three-time Pro Bowler left without a deal.
The Cowboys' secondary has also taken a hit, as cornerback DaRon Bland suffered a new foot injury in practice that could keep him out for several games. This means more responsibility will fall on the shoulders of star cornerback Trevon Diggs, who played only 26 snaps in Week 1.
On the offensive side, Pittsburgh Steelers wideout George Pickens is more concerned about his costly penalty against the Philadelphia Eagles than his limited four-target performance in his first game with the team. Meanwhile, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will look to extend his 14-game winning streak over the division rival New York Giants.
