Players and battles to watch between the Falcons and Cowboys
- Jaydon Blue (RB, Cowboys) – The fifth-round rookie is set to make his debut after a heel injury. His explosiveness could earn him significant playing time on offense from Week 1.
- Joe Milton (QB, Cowboys) – He will make his third consecutive preseason start as he looks to secure the QB2 spot behind Dak Prescott.
- Phil Mafah vs. Miles Sanders (RB, Cowboys) – Both are competing for the last spot in the running back rotation. Mafah has had a better preseason.
- Last WR spots – With Jonathan Mingo injured, Jalen Tolbert took the lead for the WR3 spot. Ryan Flournoy, Jalen Brooks and Traeshon Holden are playing their last cards.
- Ben DiNucci (QB, Falcons) – The former Dallas player could have important minutes against his former team due to the absences of Michael Penix Jr. and Kirk Cousins.
Dallas’ NFL preseason ends
Now we have to see what the teams get out of this match. The Cowboys are embroiled in contract disputes, injuries and ailments. But Prescott seems to be fine.
- Cowboys (0-2): They are looking for offensive rhythm and to test secondary weapons. Dak Prescott will not play; everything points to evaluating the depth in key positions.
- Falcons (0-2): They adjust the offense without Penix Jr. or Cousins, with DiNucci and Easton Stick sharing snaps. The team also released DJ Chark and Emory Jones, moving pieces for the final roster.
More than a friendly game, Falcons vs Cowboys will be a final exam for substitutes, rookies and “bubble” players. For Dallas, it is the last chance to find offensive fluidity before debuting on September 4. For Atlanta, the goal is to give minutes to young players and confirm who will fill the final roster.
