Jaishawn Barham, a third-round pick from Michigan, will call the Dallas Cowboys’ defense in their Week 2 meeting with the Washington Commanders. Coach Brian Schottenheimer confirmed that the rookie will wear the green dot Sunday, giving him responsibility for defensive communication.
The adjustment was made by defensive coordinator Christian Parker as Dallas prepares for Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels. The Cowboys are coming off a game in which the New York Giants scored 28 points in a Dallas defeat, while the defense also had difficulty containing the Giants’ offense.
Dallas and Washington both entered the matchup after losing to division opponents in Week 1. The Cowboys’ offensive showing against Washington’s defense, along with Barham’s management of the defensive calls, are key developments surrounding the NFC East game, according to sportingnews.com.
