Jaishawn Barham Named Cowboys' Starting Middle Linebacker

Despite a frustrating rookie debut, Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer officially named Jaishawn Barham the starting middle linebacker for the home opener against the Washington Commanders. Barham will wear the green dot and step in for DeMarvion Overshown, who is sidelined with a hamstring strain suffered in Week 1. Schottenheimer praised Barham's strong command of the defense as he prepares to anchor the unit in a crucial matchup to avoid an 0-2 start.
