Game Preview: For Miami, the focus is on the backfield as Arian Foster and Jay Ajayi are fighting for the starting running back position. Foster is expected to make his Dolphins debut tonight against the Cowboys. He was signed late in the offseason after missing much of last season with the Texans after suffering a torn Achilles.
Tony Romo will make his preseason debut against the Dolphins. Romo underwent shoulder surgery this offseason after missing most of last season with injuries. Rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott will not play as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
Dak Prescott could be a bigger storyline than Romo’s return. Prescott is likely to get a lot of the snaps tonight after a stellar NFL debut against the Rams. Cowboys fans will be watching to see if the rookie quarterback can put together two solid outings.
