The Dallas Cowboys' defense emerged physically battered following their collapse against the Arizona Cardinals, according to an SB Nation report published Tuesday. The defeat left the unit dealing with multiple injuries, though specific players and the extent of the ailments were not immediately detailed.
The game took a toll on a defensive group that had been a strength for Dallas earlier in the season. Head coach Mike McCarthy and his staff will evaluate the damage throughout the week as the team prepares for its next opponent.
Sean Martin authored the report for SB Nation on November 3, 2026, noting the defense was "banged up physically" in the aftermath of the Cardinals game.
