Cowboys' Osa Odighizuwa: Competition for snaps growing
Osa Odighizuwa faces increased competition for snaps at defensive tackle in 2024.The 2021 third-round pick has emerged as a reliable 3-technique at defensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys, and Odighizuwa recorded a career-high 46 tackles over 17 regular-season games last season with 3.0 sacks. Last year's first-round pick Mazi Smith is expected to take a step forward in his development though, and Dallas added veteran Jordan Phillips to the DT mix during training camp, with free agent Linval Joseph also expected to sign in the coming days. That gives new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer plenty of options in the middle of the defensive line, but it also makes it unlikely that Odighizuwa will see the career-high 601 snaps he got in 2023.

Cowboys' Osa Odighizuwa: Two sacks in Sunday's rout
Osa Odighizuwa recorded four tackles, including two sacks, in Sunday's 40-0 win over the Giants.It was a huge night for the Dallas defense, and Odighizuwa tied Dorance Armstrong for the team lead in sacks as the Dallas Cowboys' pass rush brought down Daniel Jones seven times in total. Odighizuwa only had six sacks in 33 games through his first two years in the NFL, so he's unlikely to repeat this performance any time soon, but the defensive tackle is a key part of what could be the most dangerous unit in the league this season.
