Ten days after opening the preseason in Southern California, the Cowboys travel north on Highway 101 to for their second game.

The Cowboys face the San Francisco 49ers Sunday at 7 p.m. at Levi’s Stadium. It just so happens Super Bowl 50 will take place on this cite, a fact head coach Jason Garrett pointed out to his team late Saturday afternoon as they held a walk-thru at the stadium.

Few starters will play Sunday and the ones that do won’t be around long. That doesn’t mean there aren’t some things to watch.

Here are five.

1. Will he or won’t he – Quarterback Tony Romo usually makes his first appearance of the preseason in this game. But there are some factors at work that argue for his debut to be pushed back to next week’s game against Minnesota at AT&T Stadium.

It starts with injuries. Three and up to four starters could be missing from the offensive line. Center Travis Frederick will play and based on the work he got in Friday’s practice, veteran right tackle Doug Free could make his preseason debut.

Two of his top three receivers (Dez Bryant and Cole Beasley) and two of his top three tight ends (Gavin Escobar and James Hanna) will also miss the game with injuries.

if the turf is as bad as the cowboys coaches think it is I would only play romo one series or two. just hand the ball off to the running backs and get him out.

Sounds like Geoff Haim may take Hanna's job if he plays well in preseason.
