The Dallas Cowboys take the field for OTAs this coming Monday, believing they’re a much-improved roster compared to 2025. On paper, some could say they are, but they still have something that can derail the entire season: the offensive line. In 2025, Dallas entered the season with offensive tackles seen as a liability, and in 2026, those liabilities remain. The Cowboys could be one bad offensive snap away from another bad season, unless they show clear improvement in OTAs.
Dallas has been able to manage at times thanks to quarterback Dak Prescott’s ability to navigate the pocket and make a play. But Prescott’s getting older, and father time never loses, meaning the Cowboys need to make sure they’re issues at offensive tackle are shored up before the season begins. If they can improve on the edges, and the defense is able to improve, this team has a real shot at making noise in the playoffs.
