Randy Gregory (Broncos): 10/21 games, 3 sacks since signing in March 2022. Drafted by Cowboys in 2nd round of 2015 NFL Draft, missed 31 games in 5 years due to off-the-field issues.

The 49ers are one of the best defenses in the NFL, but they could use some help at pass rush. Gregory is a talented pass rusher, but he has struggled to stay healthy throughout his career.

The Cowboys will need to be aware of Gregory's versatility and his ability to rush the passer. They will need to have a plan for how to deal with him if he plays on Sunday.
