When Tyler Guyton went down with a knee injury on July 28, the Cowboys initially thought his season was over because of a torn ACL. Instead, he was diagnosed with a broken bone in his knee, and there is a chance he will be available for the opener.

Sanders had a golden opportunity to prove he is worthy of pushing Javonte Williams for reps as the starting running back, and he responded by carrying the ball seven times for 15 yards, with no run going longer than seven yards. Even the RB2 job is far from guaranteed.

The stakes are high for the Dallas Cowboys entering this season, and Marcus Spears believes they must deliver. The ESPN analyst and former Cowboys defensive end explained that he sees this year as a “boom or bust” of sorts for the franchise.

In a recent survey released by ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky, he ranked his top 10 NFL QBs on seven different skillsets from arm strength and mechanics to ball placement and pocket presence. Despite being a recent MVP candidate, Prescott only landed on one of Orlovsky’s top 10 lists — mechanics.

"The Dallas Cowboys are for entertainment purposes only," he said. "Before the Cowboys come on the TV, before we see their games, you know when they show the NFL branding, they need to have a warning label come on the TV screen."

Lamb was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct after colliding with a ref during the Cowboys' first preseason game.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Cowboys’ wide receiver room, led by All-Pro CeeDee Lamb and newly-acquired WR2 George Pickens is the team’s best rated unit. They come as the ninth best in the league, with the Cincinnati Bengals’ room, including the vaunted duo of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, comes in the top spot.

Joe Milton showed off his arm with a 49-yard bomb to Jonathan Mingo in the Cowboys’ 31-13 preseason loss to the Ravens.
