    It's hard to find answers to questions about the Dallas Cowboys on the field of OTA practices. Contact is nonexistent and players are just getting back into the groove of team activities after months away from the building. One of the biggest questions this season for the Cowboys will be how well Tyler Guyton can rebound from a tough rookie season. For nearly a decade, left tackle was the least of anybody's worries, as Tyron Smith anchored the spot at an All-Pro level.

    The NFL will release the 2025 schedules for all 32 teams at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Here is what we know about the Dallas Cowboys' schedule so far. The Cowboys will open the season on "Thursday Night Football" against the defending Super Bowl-champion Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field on Sept. 4 (8:20 p.m. ET). Along with playing each of its NFC East divisional rivals twice, once on the road at once at AT&T Stadium, Dallas will play each team in the NFC North and AFC West.

    Since the Dallas Cowboys signed Dak Prescott to a contract extension that made him the highest-paid player in NFL history, the front office hasn't hesitated to remind the masses of that massive transaction, spinning the narrative with whatever fits the moment.

The #Cowboys secondary is pretty hampered and thin right now, but there was one new starting combination seen today briefly: Outside CBs: DaRon Bland and Kaiir Elam (who’s been a constant, btw) Slot CB: Kemon Hall Interested to see how Hall plays in training camp/preseason.
