Dallas City News

If you were worried about not getting enough Dallas Cowboys content this summer, you no longer have to worry. The NFL Network released its schedule of 21 live preseason games, and the Cowboys are one of three teams that will have all three matchups aired on the NFL Network.

The Chicago Bears and the Kansas City Chiefs are the other two teams to have all three games aired live, and rightfully so. Fans want to see Caleb Williams, the first overall pick, and the Chiefs, who are coming off their second straight Super Bowl victory. The Cowboys are smashed right between the other two franchises in opposite directions.

Quarterback Dak Prescott, head coach Mike McCarthy, and many others on the 2024 squad enter this season with uncertainty looming over them, but there are some bright spots for fans to look forward to.

Who will be the team’s starting running back? Ezekiel Elliott makes his triumphant return, but will he have enough to fight off Rico Dowdle, who returns after having a solid backup season? Can the rookie class from last season shake off a disappointing start to their careers and find a way to reshape the narratives attached to them? With Michael Gallup no longer in Dallas, who steps up as the offense’s No. 3 wide receiver?

The anticipation for this season looks daunting, but there are things that can come from Oxnard that build confidence heading into Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns.
