Cowboys Call Logan Wilson Benching a 'Confusion' as Schottenheimer Says Coaches 'Messed Up'

Cowboys executives reiterated that Wilson remains in their plans.

Overview

  • Logan Wilson did not play a defensive snap in Week 17, when Dallas faced only 44 plays in a 30-23 win over Washington.
  • Stephen Jones described the zero-snap outcome as rotation 'confusion' tied to linebackers coach Dave Borgonzi and said it was not the intent.
  • Jerry Jones said he had no explanation for the decision, emphasized Wilson was planned to play, and praised his instincts and fit.
  • Brian Schottenheimer said the staff 'messed up' the second-half rotation and accepted responsibility for the mistake.
  • Dallas traded a seventh-round pick for Wilson last month; he has 17 tackles in six games as the defense continues to struggle, allowing 326 yards and a 72-yard TD run to Washington, with coaching scrutiny intensifying ahead of Week 18.
