Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rashan Gary became the subject of a viral social media controversy following the team's November 8, 2026, game against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.

During a defensive play, footage appeared to show a noticeable dark stain on the back of Gary's white football pants.

The clip was shared by NFL commentator Dov Kleiman on X and quickly generated reactions from football fans.

Several social media users speculated that Gary had experienced an episode of fecal incontinence during the game. The Spanish sports outlet Mediotiempo also covered the viral moment, using the alleged bathroom accident as the central subject of its headline.

However, there is no verified evidence that Gary actually suffered fecal incontinence.

The footage alone cannot establish the origin of the stain. Dirt, moisture, paint or other substances could potentially produce a similar appearance.

Neither the player's medical condition nor the cause of the mark has been independently confirmed.

The episode occurred during the Cowboys' 27-23 victory over the Colts, a game that also featured another unusual incident involving Dallas linebacker DeMarvion Overshown.

Overshown, who was inactive because of injuries, ran onto the field in sweatpants to celebrate a recovered fumble, earning his team a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

The two incidents involved different Cowboys players and became separate viral stories from the same game.
