According to the ESPN Cowboys depth chart, Liafau is listed as a starting LB. I know that’s not official, but it’s one depth chart listed. Here’s the ESPN link: https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/dalI don't think Liufau will start, but he will probably see quite a bit of playing time, especially if Overshown isn't ready to go.
IMO, the starters will be Clark, Kendricks and Parsons on run downs. Liufau and Overshown may get significant reps in the nickel.
But I do believe we'll still have four rookie starters because Kneeland will play one of the DE spots on run downs. Of course, those run-down reps probably will be divided among Kneeland, Lawrence and Golston to keep Lawrence rested to play on pass downs.
Pro Football Network currently lists Overshown as the starter. He might as well be a rookie because he’s never played an NFL game either. PFN depth chart: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl/teams/dallas-cowboys/depth-chart
