The preseason opener will be particularly important for players competing for roster spots and playing-time roles.
Rookie safety Caleb Downs is expected to make his first appearance in a Cowboys uniform during a game. Other than him, rookie cornerback Shavon Revel, defensive lineman Malachi Lawrence could potentially receive more playing time.
The backup running back competition between Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah is another storyline worth watching. Also the quarterback battle between Sam Howell and Joe Milton will also draw plenty of attention as the Cowboys evaluate their depth behind Dak Prescott.
The Cowboys’ first preseason game will not determine their 2026 record, but it will provide the first real opportunity for several players to make an impression before roster decisions become more serious.
For Cowboys fans who have been waiting since January to see the team back on the field, that alone makes Saturday night worth watching.
