Cowboys Face Rams in Preseason Opener

The Dallas Cowboys are kicking off their preseason today with a much-anticipated game against the Los Angeles Rams. This matchup offers a chance for young players to showcase their skills and potentially secure a spot on the team.

The game is set to begin at 4:30 p.m. ET (1:30 p.m. PT) and will be televised on ABC. Fans will have various ways to watch, whether they have cable or not, ensuring that everyone can catch the action.

One of the key storylines to follow is the battle for the backup quarterback position. Will it be Trey Lance or Cooper Rush stepping up for the Cowboys? Additionally, there’s a lot of competition among the end-of-the-roster wide receivers and cornerbacks vying for a coveted spot.

Also in the spotlight are the running backs, including Royce Freeman, Malik Davis, and fan-favorite Deuce Vaughn. They’ll be looking to make their mark and stand out during the preseason games.

As special teams continue to adapt to changes in the NFL, Cowboys’ special teams coach John Fassel will be eager to see how returner Kavontae Turpin and kicker Brandon Aubrey perform.

The Cowboys are also excited about their rookie class, particularly first-round pick Tyler Guyton and third-rounder Cooper Beebe, both eyeing playing time on the offensive line. Third-round linebacker Marist Liufau is also in contention for a starting spot.

Another rookie to watch is Marshawn Kneeland, a second-round defensive end from Western Michigan. With the recent injury to Sam Williams, Kneeland’s role has become even more crucial in the defensive lineup.

For the rookies, this game is a significant opportunity to step onto the field, wear that Cowboys jersey, and experience the thrill of professional football on game day.
