Cowboys' Jaishawn Barham: Back at practice
Barham (groin) returned to practice Monday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Barham was able to make his return to the practice field after missing more than a week with a groin injury that he suffered at practice Aug. 5. The linebacker took some first-team reps, replacing both Dee Winters and DeMarvion Overshown (lower body) at different points. Barham appears to be on track to operate as a top reserve option at inside linebacker in his rookie campaign.

Cowboys' Jaishawn Barham: Injury not considered serious
Barham's groin injury that he sustained during Thursday's training camp practice is not considered to be a long-term concern, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Barham went to the Cowboys' team facilities after injuring his groin during Thursday's practice. The good news for the rookie third-rounder is that he seemingly avoided a serious injury, but it's unclear whether the issue will impact his availability for Dallas' preseason opener against Seattle on Saturday, Aug. 15. Barham figures to see most of his playing time on special teams in his rookie season while serving in a rotational role at linebacker behind DeMarvion Overshown (lower body) and Dee Winters.

Cowboys' Jaishawn Barham: Leaves practice early
Barham exited Thursday's training camp session with a groin injury, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.
Barham headed to the locker room after a trip to the medical tent. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but any time Barham misses would benefit fellow depth option Shemar James, who's also set to see more first-team reps as DeMarvion Overshown (lower body) incrementally works his way back to full practice participation.

Cowboys' Jaishawn Barham: Heading to Dallas
The Cowboys selected Barham in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 92nd overall.
Barham showed his versatility and explosiveness as a linebacker who converted to edge with Michigan in 2025, when he was named as an All-Big Ten Honorable Mention and posted 32 tackles, including 4.0 sacks, one forced fumble and three pass defenses across 12 games. That versatility should help him line up on the defensive front and second level, and he has the speed and physicality to beat his blocker, though he did have issues with getting flagged for offside when anticipating the offense's snap count. Barham likely will operate in a rotational role at edge behind Rashan Gary, Donovan Ezeiruaku (hip) and 2026 first-rounder Malachi Lawrence.
