Cowboys vs. Giants: 2 ‘Doubtful’; Injury Update, How to Watch, Betting Odds
FRISCO - It's finally time. When Sunday rolls around it will have been 231 days since the Dallas Cowboys last took the field in a meaningful game. Cowboys fans will remember that day for the 19-12 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round of last season's playoffs.
That's all behind them, and Dallas opens the new season on the road against the division rival New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. Quarterback Dak Prescott - who plays well against the G-Men - didn't see action in the preseason and hopes to kick off the new campaign with a division win.
Prescott is 10-2 against the Giants since entering the league, and Dallas has averaged 28.4 points per contest behind Prescott since 2021, the most of any team in that time. Dallas overall has won 11 of the last 12 games vs. New York and hopes to make it five in a row on Sunday. ... and an uptick in good health will help, as two key Prescott protectors - Tyron Smith (ankle) and Tyler Smith (hamstring) are ending the week by participating in the team’s “mock game” walkthrough while dealing with nagging injury issues.
Tyler, along with Donovan Wilson, is now listed as “doubtful” for the game.
After a change at offensive coordinator, head coach Mike McCarthy will be calling plays for the Cowboys for what many believe could be an offense near the top of the league in many categories.
New wideout Brandin Cooks looks to make history in his first season with a Star on his helmet. He could become the first player in the history of the NFL to total 1,000 receiving yards with five different teams. And the Cowboys' offense - with CeeDee Lamb and Tony Pollard featured - has the power to make that happen.
