Kyle Wilber Wilber started at strongside linebacker in the Dallas Cowboys' 31-24 win over the Oakland Raiders in Week 13. The second year player had four tackles in the game, including a hit on Raiders quarterback Matt McGloin. Wilber has 24 tackles on the season, playing both at defensive end and linebacker.
Wilber moved to strongside linebacker during Dallas's bye week on Nov. 10 to replace the injured Justin Durant, and has impressed head coach Jason Garrett during his transition. "We felt like Wilber was a good football player and we felt like he showed up on special teams and just was productive and showed up around the ball a lot," said Garrett.
Wilber and the Cowboys (7-5) will next travel to Chicago to take on the Bears on Monday, Dec. 9 as Dallas continues to battle for the top spot in the NFC East.
