Dak Prescott, Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark and Brandon Aubrey are the Cowboys' four captains for 2026, according to the club's September 3 report. Players chose the group by vote. That leaves two defensive tackles alongside the quarterback and kicker. Dallas had six captains last season; the new group gives fans a clear set of names to follow as the regular season begins. A captain's designation does not settle how a team will play. It does identify whom teammates selected to help lead them. The Cowboys' report explains the vote and the change in approach.
