The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis is off and running, and the Dallas Cowboys have a clear goal in mind: get an up-close and personal look at some of the top defensive prospects in this year's draft class.

Dallas has been open about its desire to rebuild its defense during the offseason, adding talent in free agency and the draft, where the team holds two first-round picks.

With the Combine underway, the Cowboys have begun conducting player meetings with this year's combine participants, with a heavy focus on linebacker to get things rolling.

Linebacker is undeniably among the team's biggest weaknesses on the No. 30-ranked defense, and the team lacks depth, especially following the release of veteran linebacker Logan Wilson, who the team acquired ahead of last season's trade deadline.
