Cowboys defense: Ranking the confidence level in each position group ahead of week 1

The Dallas Cowboys defense is set to look a lot different than in recent years, bringing back former coordinator Mike Zimmer as Dan Quinn departed for the Washington Commanders head coaching job. Quinn left behind plenty of talent for Zimmer with many of these recognizable players sitting out the preseason and showing the Cowboys have no intention of taking a step back on this side of the ball.

Unfortunately, to do so early in the season they will need to overcome two significant injuries suffered in training camp. DE Sam Williams was lost for the season and last year’s record-breaking CB DaRon Bland will reportedly miss at least six weeks with a foot injury.
