DANTE FOWLER JR. NEWS

Nabs first career interception Fowler recorded two total tackles (both solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pick-six in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers.

Impact Fowler ended what looked to be a promising first offensive possession for the Panthers by intercepting a screen pass intended for Miles Sanders and returning it 67-yards for a score. Not only was it the first pick-six of Fowler's nine-year NFL career, but it was also his first interception and third defensive touchdown. The first-year Commander has been extremely impactful through the team's first seven games, recording 13 total tackles, including 4.5 sacks, and one pick-six. Expect Fowler to continue making plays for Washington's defense in Week 8's matchup against the Bears.

Staying in Dallas Fowler re-signed with the Cowboys on a one-year deal Tuesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Fowler will stay in Dallas for next season after registering 27 tackles (22 solo) and six sacks last year despite playing just 329 defensive snaps, the second-lowest mark of his career. The 28-year-old served as a rotational pass rusher behind DeMarcus Lawrence, Dorance Armstrong and Micah Parsons in 2022 and will likely have a similar role for the upcoming campaign.

Dak Prescott's contract situation highlights Cowboys' offseason storylines

David Helman breaks down several important items on Dallas' to-do list that may get addressed in the next few weeks.

FEBRUARY 22, 2023

Solid in rotational role Fowler recorded 27 tackles (22 solo), including six sacks, over 17 regular-season games in 2022. He added two passes defended and two forced fumbles.

Impact The 28-year-old was the third overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, but Fowler has rarely looked the part during his time in the league. He seemed more comfortable in a complementary role during his first year with Dallas, letting Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence grab the headlines while he posted the third-highest sack total of his career. Fowler will hit free agency again this offseason after playing on a one-year, $3.0 million contract in 2022, but with defensive coordinator Dan Quinn returning to the Cowboys, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the defensive end also re-sign, albeit perhaps with a modest raise.

Impact Fowler was unable to practice this week due to an illness, but he's been cleared to play through the issue on Thanksgiving Day. Over his two appearances since the Cowboys' Week 9 bye, he's recorded five tackles (four solo), including a sack.

Tabbed as questionable Fowler is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Giants due to an illness, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Notches fourth sack Fowler recorded five tackles including a sack, with a pass defended and a second tackle for loss, in Sunday's win over the Bears.

Impact The Cowboys have the best pass rush in the league through the first half of the season, and Fowler has made a big contribution with four sacks through eight games. The 28-year-old is on pace for his best campaign since he racked up 11.5 sacks for the Rams in 2019, and with offensive lines forced to devote resources to slowing down the likes of Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence, secondary rushers like Fowler should continue to find opportunities to get to the quarterback.
