The Dallas Cowboys pass rush depth took a hit ahead of the season.

Cowboys outside linebacker Charles Snowden has been suspended by the NFL for the first three games of the 2026 regular season, according to the league wire.

According to reports from NFL Media, Snowden’s suspension is part of a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy stemming from a DUI in 2024.

The league released the following on Snowden’s suspension:

“Dallas’ Charles Snowden, DE, Virginia, has been suspended by the Commissioner for the first three games of the 2026 season. He is eligible to participate in all preseason activities, including games; his suspension will take effect as of the roster reduction to 53 players.”

Aside from being able to fully participate in training camp in Oxnard as well as Dallas’ three preseason games, Snowden would not be able to play for the Cowboys in the regular season until Week 4 on the road against the Houston Texans.

Snowden, 28, signed with the Cowboys on June 18 after trying out for the team during Dallas’ mandatory minicamp.

Snowden has spent the last two years with the Raiders, where he started 18 games and played in 31 total for Las Vegas. Previously, Snowden played two games with the Chicago Bears in 2021 after going undrafted out of Virginia.

The Cowboys depart for training camp in Oxnard, California on Monday, July 27.

“I’m going to golf a little bit on this little break,” Williams said, referring to the five weeks between the team’s minicamp in June and the start of training camp in Oxnard, Calif., in late July. He then paused to listen to another question before changing his expected golf plans.

“Probably every day,” Williams said, before pausing and changing his plans one more time. “For sure every day.”

Golf has been a change for Williams in his personal life. This coming season, Williams hopes he can find a change in his professional life too.

Williams has had a unique career to this point. The 28-year-old was selected third overall in 2019 and has lived up to expectations. He’s top-10 among the highest-paid defensive tackles in the NFL, despite signing his extension in 2023. He was named a first-team...
