Cowboys Safety Battle Heats Up | Dallas Cowboys News

The Dallas Cowboys’ defense is undergoing a major rebuild, with safety and cornerback spots still up in the air — Malik Hooker or P.J. Locke at safety, Cobie Durant or Shavon Revel Jr. at cornerback. Hooker, a veteran re-signed for $5M, and Locke, a Denver vet with 170+ tackles, are battling for one starting spot while Jalen Thompson locks down the other. The team’s aggressive offseason — five of seven draft picks went to defense, plus big signings like Thompson and trading up for Caleb Downs — signals a fresh start after last year’s worst scoring defense. Hooker praised the rising energy from young players, calling the unit special because veterans and rookies are both making plays. Kickoff against the Giants is Sunday night at 7:20 PM CT.
