Cowboys vs Chargers team news
Dallas Cowboys team news
CeeDee Lamb has yet to report to Cowboys training camp, a holdout from contract negotiations. Offensive lineman Tyler Guyton left Wednesday's training camp session with a sore knee.
This game may feature star quarterback Dak Prescott as a play-caller. Last year, Prescott took on this responsibility in the preseason finale, and head coach Mike McCarthy hasn't ruled out the possibility of him doing it again this season.
Backup quarterback Trey Lance is coming off an impressive showing in the Cowboys' 27-12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. In two preseason games, Lance has connected on 40 of 64 passes (62.5%) for 339 yards, ranking second in the NFL behind Stetson Bennett (437 yards). Lance leads all quarterbacks in rushing this preseason, accumulating 78 yards on the ground.
With the loss of defensive end Sam Williams to a season-ending knee injury during training camp, the Cowboys are still searching for a standout replacement. Keep an eye on Marshawn Kneeland and Al-Quadin Muhammad as they vie for the position. A few Cowboys players who may be on the roster bubble include wide receiver Jalen Cropper, cornerback Kemon Hall, and defensive end Viliami Fehoko.
Los Angeles Chargers team news
Jim Harbaugh will be cautious of revealing too much in the final preseason matchup against Dallas and may opt against using his starters for this one. Despite the Chargers' 0-2 record in his first preseason as head coach, Harbaugh knows all too well that preseason results mean little once the regular season kicks off.
In their game against the Rams, quarterback Easton Stick completed 8 of 13 passes for 85 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception. Luis Perez also saw some action, connecting on 13 of 20 passes for 78 yards, without any touchdowns or interceptions. Simi Fehoko led the team with two receptions for 52 yards. The Chargers will need to figure out how to jumpstart their offense in this game. If the offense continues to falter, it could be another long day in the office for the Chargers.
