Dallas Cowboys OT Tyler Guyton (knee) said Sunday, Aug. 31, that it is his plan to play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1. Nothing is official, but he said he believes he'll be ready to go Thursday, Sept. 4 when the season officially kicks off.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs (knee) said Sunday, Aug. 31, that he did everything in practice without any limitations. He would not commit to playing in Week 1 against the Philadelphia Eagles, however, saying it would depend on how his knee feels, but he didn't rule out the opener, either.

Dallas Cowboys RB Miles Sanders is listed as the primary backup to RB Javonte Williams on the team's first unofficial depth chart ahead of the Week 1 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Footballguys view: Fifth round speedster Jaydon Blue is the #3 back and seventh round power back Phil Mafah is on injured reserve with a designation to return because of a shoulder injury. Williams is the Cowboys back to play if you need to dig deep for a starter in Week 1, but don't expect much vs. the Eagles. This pecking order is subject to change, and Dallas could seek to trade for another back once they see this trio in action. |

Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue (ankle) is listed as the No. 3 tailback on the team's first unofficial depth chart ahead of the regular season. He had been dealing with an ankle injury late in training camp, and it is uncertain if that played into the decision making.

Link to storyThe Dallas Cowboys brought back free-agent WR Ryan Flournoy (Cowboys) for their practice squad Saturday, Aug. 30, after he had cleared waivers Friday, Aug. 29.
Footballguys view: A sixth-round pick (Southeast Missouri State) of the Cowboys in 2024, Flournoy impressed on film and in the pre-draft process with an outstanding size/speed/athleticism combination. Flournoy played in 11 games last season as a rookie for the Cowboys, starting one game. His rookie season ended with 10 catches for 102 yards, but Flournoy has the upside to do much more. Now, back with the Cowboys on the practice squad, he can continue to develop his game. Fantasy GMs in deep dynasty formats should be alert to his status. |
Dallas Cowboys RB Javonte Williams is listed as the starter on the team's first official depth chart of the season.
Footballguys view: The Cowboys rushing attack does not strike fear into an opponent. Williams was below average as a starter for the Broncos, and that's likely what he's going to be with his new team in 2025. He's a plodding runner, good in pass protection but only decent as a receiver on screen passes. Miles Sanders and Jaydon Blue will split time behind Williams. |

Dallas Cowboys WR Ryan Flournoy was waived Thursday, Aug. 28.
Footballguys view: The size/speed small school receiver was a sixth round pick last year, but the Cowboys preferred to use the roster spot on the Eagles 2024 fifth round pick, OL Trevor Keegan. The Cowboys only have four wide receivers on the roster after this move. |
Dallas Cowboys DE Micah Parsons was traded to the Green Bay Packers Thursday, Aug. 28, in exchange for DT Kenny Clark and two first-round draft choices.

Footballguys view: We like Fairweather in super deep dynasty formats. It's takes some time for tight ends to develop in the pros, sometimes three years, but with his size/athleticism combination, there might be something there in the future. |

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said he believes CB Trevon Diggs (knee) will be on the 53-man roster to start the season and hopes Diggs will be able to do some things during practice next week.
Footballguys view: We should expect Diggs to be sidelined for at least the season opener against the Eagles, which will upgrade Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, and DeVonta Smith for that matchup. The Cowboys draw the Giants, Bears and Packers in Weeks 2-4. |

Dallas Cowboys WR Jonathan Mingo (knee) will likely start the season on the Reserve/Injured list because of his knee injury.
Footballguys view: Mingo was competing for a depth chart position (fourth or fifth) in the Cowboys WR room. He's big and fast, but he needs to get healthy to earn playing time when he's ready in the regular season. |

Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue (ankle) sustained a sprained right ankle during the preseason game versus the Atlanta Falcons Friday, Aug. 22.
Footballguys view: An ankle injury bothered Blue this training camp. He got some preseason action, his first of the year, against the Falcons this weekend. It seems like the ankle injury popped up again. The Cowboys have a pretty 'meh' backfield, so an exciting player like Blue could earn an opportunity. |
Dallas Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs (knee) remains uncertain if he will be able to play in the season opener versus the Philadelphia Eagles Sept. 4. He is currently on the Physically Unable to Perform list and has not resumed practicing, although he has ramped up his rehab work recently. If Diggs remains on the PUP list at the beginning of the season, he would have to miss at least the first four games.

Dalla Cowboys QB Joe Milton III completed 10 of his 18 passes for 132 yards and a touchdown and rushed four times for 33 yards and a score during the preseason game against the Atlanta Falcons Friday, Aug. 22.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue (ankle) is expected to play in the final preseason game.
Footballguys view: Blue has shown the burst and acceleration that got him drafted, but an injury slowed his momentum. No one has emerged in the Cowboys backfield and none are advisable plays against the Eagles in a tough season opener. It's not even clear if any of them are going to be worth a fantasy roster spot in Week 2. |

Dallas Cowboys CB DaRon Bland said Tuesday, Aug. 12 that his representatives have had 'some talks' about a contract extension with the team, and he is hopeful of a deal before the start of the regular season.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue (ankle, heel) is not participating in practice Tuesday, Aug. 12.
Footballguys view: Although Miles Sanders returned to practice, Blue is still on the mend. It's essential that rookies receive as many reps as possible during the preseason, so his absence is frustrating. He'll hope to return soon, as every day he misses impacts his likelihood of a rookie-season breakout. |
Dallas Cowboys RB Miles Sanders (knee) is participating in practice Tuesday, Aug. 12.
Footballguys view: After Sanders missed most of last week, Javonte Williams served as the team's primary running back in practice. Reports before Sanders' injury were that he looked better than Williams. We'll keep a close eye on how touches are being split up in camp in an attempt to decipher this murky backfield. |

Dallas Cowboys RB Miles Sanders (knee) should be able to participate in some drills during practice this week, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.

Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue (ankle, heel) should be able to be at least a limited participant in practice at some point this week, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Footballguys view: The bruised heel won't keep Blue out of action for long. This backfield continues to trend towards a committee with at least three players, and could even include a player not currently on the roster. Blue has the best speed and initial burst of the group, so he's probably the best late round target of the group. |
Dallas Cowboys CB Shavon Revel Jr. (knee) had his knee drained approximately one week ago in order to reduce swelling, according to a source. The team still believes that Revel will be able to get on the field at some point in September, even though he has been unable to take part in training camp
