The expected Week 1 absence of right guard Zack Martin is a severe blow to a Cowboys team facing the Buccaneers’ vaunted defensive line.

Cam Newton isn’t on the Cowboys’ radar, as the team is set with Cooper Rush and Will Grier as its backups to starting quarterback Dak Prescott.

On the latest episode of “Hard Knocks” Dak Prescott was back in action and Amari Cooper and Trevor Diggs go one-on-one at Dallas Cowboys practice.

Saints coach Sean Payton said it was “unrealistic” to think the team would return home from Dallas anytime soon after Hurricane Ida struck Louisiana.

On the latest episode of “Hard Knocks” Dak Prescott revealed that he doesn’t like … mascots? Also, one of his backups struggles with interceptions.

Cameras caught CeeDee Lamb’s highlight-reel catches, Ezekiel Elliott was thankful for a supply of baby powder on the latest “Hard Knocks.”

Amari Cooper has eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards in each of his three seasons in Dallas. But the wide receiver wants more in 2021.

The season premiere of the Dallas Cowboys’ third appearance on “Hard Knocks” had no shortage of banter, quirks and expletives.

Consider QB Dak Prescott, rookie LB Micah Parsons and, of course, owner Jerry Jones among those to watch when HBO’s “Hard Knocks” premieres Tuesday.
