Geoff Swaim: Backup tight end James Hanna is still recovering from a sprained knee, so the rookie Swaim should get plenty of playing time against the 49ers. The Cowboys could have taken their chances on signing Swaim after the draft, but they valued him on their board too much and actually traded a 2016 sixth-round pick to the 49ers to move back into the seventh round and grab the University of Texas tight end. Swaim was billed as a blocker, but his best asset might be his receiving skills. The question is, can he do enough to make the team as a fourth tight end behind Jason Witten, Gavin Escobar and Hanna? Would the Cowboys keep four instead of a fullback? May depend on what Swaim continues to show in preseason.
Damien Wilson: On Friday, Jerry Jones noted how many rookies have a chance to make an impact on this year’s Cowboys team. Wilson was among the names Jones mentioned. The fourth-round pick delivered a big hit in last week’s preseason opener and has drawn praise from the coaching staff for his progression in the defense. A little like Anthony Hitchens did last year as a fourth-round pick, Wilson has worked at multiple positions where needed, and he spent time with the first unit this past week. His versatility is an asset. What could he do with more playing time Sunday?

David Porter: The TCU guy has done nothing but impress since he got here, so I’m pretty intrigued to see what he can do in a game situation. The natural assumption is that Dez won’t play, and I’d guess
