Health played a significant role in the Dallas Cowboys’ abysmal 2025 season. In 2026, they’ll be hoping to avoid the injury bug, starting with three players who have constantly been in the trainer’s room: Tyler Guyton, DaRon Bland, and Demarvion Overshown. If these three can stay healthy, it boosts Dallas’ odds of turning things around and making noise this season.
Another factor that could hamper the Cowboys’ hopes of a positive season is the schedule. The NFL did Dallas no favors when it put the 2026 schedule together. Now, the Cowboys have one of the toughest schedules in the league, and many believe they’ll improve, but not by much. It will be interesting to see how the team handles the long odds.
