Safety still looms as the Cowboys biggest need on defense

The coming out party towards the end of the 2020 season for Donovan Wilson was one of the best things to come out of the 2020 season. For a defense that showed questionable effort at times and had a lack of turnovers, an enforcer in the middle of the field who had two interceptions, three forced fumbles, and three quarterback hits was a breath of fresh air for Cowboys fans.

But now it’s 2021. Wilson is currently not practicing due to a minor injury, Xavier Woods is in Minnesota after leaving in free agency, and the Cowboys starting safeties heading into training camp are Damontae Kazee (who is still working back from a ruptured Achilles) and Jayron Kearse.
