As injuries mount Cowboys young DTs must step up

The Dallas Cowboys defense is dealing with a fresh wave of physical setbacks as defensive tackle Jonathan Bullard faces a multi-week absence due to a calf strain sustained against the Ravens. While the starting interior trio of Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark, and Otito Ogbannia remains intact and showed improvement last week, Bullard's absence removes a key rotational piece relied upon by defensive coordinator Christian Parker.

With Bullard sidelined for up to five weeks, rookie fourth-round pick LT Overton is expected to absorb a larger share of the workload alongside his veteran teammates. Parker's defensive scheme depends heavily on a deep interior rotation to battle double-teams and maintain gap discipline against opposing run games.
