Follow along as we discuss and update the news about the Dallas Cowboys preseason game against the Miami Dolphins.
The Dallas Cowboys will host the Miami Dolphins for their second preseason contest of the 2016 season. The Cowboys had a very good first half last week against the Rams when Dak Prescott led them to three scores (17 points) and looked very good doing it. The second half wasn’t as good as the Cowboys offense stalled under Jameill Showers and the defense was picked apart.
This week against the Dolphins we might get a look at some of the veterans, at least briefly. We don’t know for sure if Tony Romo will play, but he seems to think he will. He might get a couple of series to get his season underway before taking more snaps in the Week 3 preseason game. We likely will not see Ezekiel Elliott. He has returned to practice in a limited fashion, but he probably won’t be cleared for any game action.
On defense, the fans would love to get a look at defensive linemen Benson Mayowa and Maliek Collins, but like Elliott it is doubtful they will be turned loose in a game so quickly after returning from lengthy layoffs.
But the thing that most fans will be interested in will be whether Dak Prescott can repeat, or at least approximate, his performance from last week. Do it once and people take notice, do it twice and people might start to believe.
