Sweat is in his second season with the Cardinals and has played in seven games this year, compiling 16 tackles and two sacks.
He finished 2025 with 30 total tackles, 12 sacks, four forced fumbles, a fumble recovery snd two passes defended.
Sweat spent his first seven seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles and was one of their better pass rushers. He has 57 career sacks in 128 games.
The Cowboys’ defense has struggled to start the season, so it makes sense they would want Sweat to help rush the passer.
Kickoff for Sunday’s Cowboys-Cardinals game will be at 1 p.m. ET on Fox. Joe Davis and Greg Olsen will have the call.
