Liufau recorded five tackles (four solo) and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Eagles. The outside linebacker replaced starter DeMarvion Overshown after the latter exited the game with a knee injury in the third quarter. Overshown's injury is not believed to be serious, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. That could limit Liufau's playing time moving forward, as he has only played on more than 50 percent of the defensive snaps once this season.

The Cowboys selected Liufau in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 87th overall. Liufau was a "see ball, get ball" type of linebacker at Notre Dame with the ability to diagnose where the play was going and get there in a hurry, often with authority. His intensity led to him occasionally running out of plays but also record some impressive highlights. At 6-foot-2 and 234 pounds with 4.64 speed, his chase-and-tackle ability should translate to the next level. Dallas will have to get him to play more disciplined, but if they can accomplish that, Liufau can be an asset in this linebacker corps.
