We've officially made it, Dallas Cowboys Nation. The 2025 NFL preseason kicks into high gear on Thursday night with a trio of games set to take place, including a doubleheader on the NFL Network.

Dallas will face off against the Los Angeles Rams in its preseason opener, just days after the two teams come together for a joint practice.

The Cowboys didn't show much against the Rams in the joint session, with Los Angeles getting the better of the two teams. Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer admitted to keeping some of his offensive cards close to his chest, so we'll have to see if anything opens up when the two teams face off.
