Overview

• Through six games the Cowboys own one of the NFL’s worst defenses, ranking last in yards allowed, next-to-last in points allowed, and 23rd in sacks with only 11.
• Jones defended the pass rush as a potential team strength and publicly praised DT Kenny Clark and defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus despite the unit’s struggles.
• He said Dallas has the "ammunition" to trade, citing extra first-round picks from 2026 and 2027 and roughly $31 million in cap space, while noting no specific deal is in hand.
• Linebacker DeMarvion Overshown is expected back after the Week 10 bye, and rookie CB Shavon Revel Jr. could debut as health improves, factors Jones said will be weighed against any trade.
• The owner insisted the 2-3-1 Cowboys are "still in" the playoff hunt, even as fans and commentators criticized his upbeat assessment of the pass rush.
