The Dallas Cowboys are just two weeks away from the start of training camp in Oxnard, California, and the team’s revamped defense has already taken a blow.
On Tuesday evening, it was announced that one of the team’s newest additions, defensive end Charles Snowden, has been suspended for the first three games of the 2026-27 NFL season.
Despite his suspension, Snowden, who was suspended under the personal conduct policy because of a DUI, will be able to participate in training camp and the preseason.

“Dallas’ Charles Snowden, DE, Virginia, has been suspended by the Commissioner for the first three games of the 2026 season,” a statement from the NFL read. “He is eligible to participate in all preseason activities, including games; his suspension will take effect as of the roster reduction to 53 players.”

Snowden signed with the Cowboys on June 18.
Before joining the Cowboys, Snowden had stints with the Chicago Bears, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Las Vegas Raiders. During the past two seasons with the Raiders, Snowden has appeared in 31 games with 18 starts, totalling 67 tackles, 8 tackles for a loss, and one interception.
While he is not expected to be a key player for new defensive coordinator Christian Parker, his versatility could allow him to carve out a role and earn a spot on the team’s 53-man roster. Of course, the three-game suspension could ultimately hurt his chances.
