The Dallas Cowboys have cleared the first true hurdle of training camp, and now can set their eyes on the next, the opening exhibition game. On Tuesday, the Cowboys traveled down from Oxnard, CA so they could take on the Los Angeles Rams in a joint practice. Next up, a Saturday trip up the Pacific Coast so they can battle against the World Champion Seattle Seahawks.
And with that game barreling towards both clubs, the Cowboys press room sent out the unofficial depth chart for the preseason opener. It's the first real look at the pecking order of things that have been reported on during training camp practices, and it includes some noteworthy things.
From the outside looking in, the question about the OL is how many make the opening roster? The starting five is set, left to right being Tyler Guyton, Tyler Smith, Cooper Beebe, Tyler Booker and Terence Steele. TJ Bass is the top backup, with Nate Thomas and rookie Drew Shelton forming a consistently mocked group of eight OL.
Will they carry a ninth or an even 10? Can last year's late-round pick Ajani Cornelius convince them to carry five tackles, knowing Tyler Smith can slide outside? Does it make more sense to bring guard Nick Leverett to the regular season, or what about UDFAs Shiyazh Pete and DJ Wingfield?
As a fifth-round pick at the running back position, many expected Blue to be a part of the Cowboys' rotation on offense in 2025. However poor work ethic seemed to mar almost all of his rookie campaign, leading many to wonder if the club would move past the thought of him this year. He's seemed to correct those issues, reporting with a renewed focus and breaking several big plays through the first two weeks of camp.
