Los Cowboys initially acquired Hankins in deal with Raiders near the trade deadline in October 2022. Dallas received a 2024 seventh-round pick along with Hankins from the Raiders.

With the run defense considered a weakness, the Cowboys were tasked with calling on the 6-foot-2, 320-pounder who helped solidify the defensive line. Hankins also tried to mentor some of the younger players, including 2023 first-round pick Mazi Smith, another defensive tackle.

Last season, Hankins signed a one-year contract with a base salary of $1.16 million.

When he returned in the regular-season finale against Washington, the run defense gave up a season-low 50 yards.
