Bennett is retiring from the NFL, Louisa Thomas of The New Yorker reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett has a lofty reputation for his work both on and off the field, piling up 69.5 sacks in 11 NFL seasons while also focusing on social justice advocacy. He recorded 6.5 sacks and 15 QB hits in 15 games with the Cowboys and Patriots last year, so there was some thought he'd continue playing in 2020. Instead, the 34-year-old will call it a career and turn his full attention to other aspects of life.

Bennett played 15 games split between the Patriots and Cowboys in 2019, finishing with 32 tackles (24 solo) including 6.5 sacks.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran pass rusher began the year in New England, but, after getting slapped with a one-game suspension for "conduct detrimental to the team," Bennett was dealt to Dallas where he was marginally more productive down the stretch. Even so, the 6.5 sacks were his lowest total while staying mostly healthy in a campaign since 2011. The 34-year-old is an unrestricted free agent after having the final year of his deal voided by the Pats following the suspension, and he'll likely have to settle for something much less than the $8.25 million he was set to make in 2020 if he wants to continue his career.

Bennett (foot) is active for Sunday's Week 15 tilt against the Rams, Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett will overcome his questionable designation and suit up for what is a pivotal game for the Cowboys in their playoff push. The veteran defensive end's presence will also be welcome against a Rams passing game that has appeared revitalized over the last two games in favorable matchups against the Cardinals and Seahawks.

Bennett (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett turned in two limited practices during the week before sitting out Friday in what was likely a planned absence. The 34-year-old has been playing through the injury for weeks and will look to do so again Sunday.

Bennett (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett recorded a 70-percent snap share in Week 14's loss to the Bears after being a limited participant in the three practices preceding the contest, so there's no major concern about his status for this Sunday's matchup against the Rams. Since arriving in Dallas, Bennett has generated four sacks and 14 quarterback pressures over six games, but Jared Goff has been a tough man to take down this year, recording the fourth-best sack percentage in the league (3.8).

Bennett (foot) won't carry an injury designation into Thursday's matchup against the Bears, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett only played 38 defensive snaps during Week 13's loss to the Bills due to this foot injury. With Antwaun Woods (knee) ruled out, Bennett could see increased usage in this prime-time contest.

Bennett injured his foot in Thursday's loss to the Bills, Brianna Dix of D210 Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Jason Garrett stated that he was optimistic Bennett would be good to go Week 14 against the Bears. The 34-year-old has made an impact since joining the Cowboys, registering three sacks in five games.

Bennett collected two sacks among his three tackles in Sunday's win over the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran pass rusher now has three sacks in three games since joining the Cowboys, more than he had in six games for the Patriots prior to being traded. Bennett has provided a jolt to a Dallas front seven that already featured proven QB hunters in DeMarcus Lawrence and Robert Quinn, and the 34-year-old could be poised for a revenge game in Week 12 against New England.

Bennett posted three tackles (all solo) and one sack in Monday's 37-18 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett notched his first sack in a Cowboys uniform during Monday's tilt, while also making an appearance on 60 percent of the team's defensive snaps in his debut with the team.

Bennett restructured his contract with the Cowboys on Thursday and will become a free agent in March, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bennett is now set to become a free agent in March as the result of his restructured contract. In the last three seasons Bennett has spent time with four different teams, and he'll be free to test the market again after the conclusion of the 2019 season. The 33-year-old hasn't yet suited up for a game with the Cowboys.
