Transforming the defense

From InsideTheStar.com:

"DeMarvion Overshown, once healthy, will come in and take one of the starting linebacker positions. He was a superstar in the making last season before the season-ending injury. Returning contributor Damone Clarke will be a key reserve, and rookie Shemar James has been turning heads in OTAs. Both of these players will provide depth and special teams value."

DallasCowboys.com takes a look at what Cowboys fans should keep an eye on for August.

"With the offseason program in the rear view mirror, training camp is the last thing standing in front of the Cowboys before the 2025 season begins. The team will head to Oxnard in mid-July before starting the preseason with three games to ramp up for their NFL opening night matchup against the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. It's been speculated that during training camp, the Cowboys will once again face the Los Angeles Rams in a practice setting before their first preseason game against them. If that is in fact the case, it'll mark back to back years of the same format for Dallas to open the preseason."
