The Dallas Cowboys have requested to interview Green Bay Packers defensive line coach/run game coordinator DeMarcus Covington for the team’s vacant defensive coordinator position, sources confirmed to DLLS.

Covington, 36, was hired by the Packers before the 2025 season, coaching a unit that acquired All-Pro Micah Parsons from the Cowboys a week before the 2025 season began.

Before his time in Green Bay, Covington spent eight seasons with the New England Patriots (2017-2024), where he began his NFL coaching career as a coaching assistant before rising to defensive coordinator in 2024.

During his time in New England, he helped the Patriots win Super Bowl LIII over the Los Angeles Rams.

Upon entering the NFL, Covington coached college football at four different programs: Eastern Illinois (2016), UT Martin (2015), Ole Miss (2013–2014), and UAB (2012).

Covington becomes the third interview request on Wednesday, joining New York Giants interim defensive coordinator Charlie Bullen and Philadelphia Eagles passing game coordinator/DB coach Christian Parker.
