Wilson recorded eight tackles (four solo) and recovered a fumble Sunday in a Week 9 loss to the Falcons. Wilson finished second on Dallas in stops behind Eric Kendricks in the defeat. The safety also made a big play with a second-quarter fumble recovery on a sack of Kirk Cousins, but the Cowboys couldn't convert a key fourth down on their ensuing drive. Wilson's eight tackles Sunday were a season high, and he's totaled 43 total stops through eight games on the campaign.
Wilson recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 47-9 loss to the Lions. This was Wilson's first sack since the 2022 season, when he posted 5.0 sacks before failing to post a sack in 2023. Wilson now has 30 sacks, two pass breakups, an interception and a sack through six games as the Cowboys' starting strong safety. He should remain a high-end IDP option with a solid floor from his tackling performance.
Wilson recorded six tackles (two solo) and one interception in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the Saints. Wilson has played 95 percent of the defensive snaps through two weeks. His interception came in the fourth quarter with the Cowboys already losing 41-19. After two games, Wilson has eight tackles (two solo), two pass breakups and the one interception.
Wilson appears headed for another strong season as a starting safety for the Cowboys. The 29-year-old Texas A&M product missed the first two games of last season with a calf injury, but he put together a 100-tackle pace over 15 regular-season games after returning to action. Wilson's impressive IDP numbers the last two years came with Dan Quinn as his defensive coordinator, but the switch to Mike Zimmer shouldn't impact him too much, as Zimmer's defenses have a long track record of setting up safeties for success -- Harrison Smith made six Pro Bowls in eight seasons for the Vikings with Zimmer as his head coach.
