Texans vs Cowboys Preseason Preview
When it comes to the preseason, much of the focus for the Cowboys is around quarterback Dak Prescott, who is dealing with a somewhat mysterious shoulder injury.
Prescott is not expected to play against the Texans as he ramps up his work in anticipation of the regular season.
“There’s a good chance he probably won’t play [against the Texans],” Dalls coach Mike McCarthy stated. “That’s fair to say.”
McCarthy also said that Prescott would be unlikely to play in the team’s preseason finale against Jacksonville, meaning his first action would come on Sept. 9 for the team’s Week 1 matchup against the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“At the end of the day, I trust the practice process,” McCarthy said. “The tempo of how we practice, the cadence variations and the emphasis of the game situations, I feel really good about what we’re able to get done in this environment as opposed to relying on preseason games. I’ve always felt the preseason games were primarily for the development of your young players. I do know this is our first year going through training camp.
The Texans are dealing with their own drama, with quarterback Deshaun Watson — a former three-time Pro Bowler and the reigning NFL passing yards leader who is in flux due to a trade request and legal issues.
“He’s unlikely to play in the game for sure, so we’ll make a decision later in the week as to what’s going to happen with that,” Texans first-year head coach David Culley said of Watson’s status against the Packers last week. “It’s based off the limited reps he’s had in practice and that sort of thing.”
The Texans have the lowest win total in the NFL at five, per CBS Sports. They are still figuring out their starters and who can step into larger roles, which is an essential part of the preseason.
“We haven’t yet really determined who’s a starter for us and who’s not a starter for us right now, but I do know that last week, those guys who played and didn’t get played much will play a little more,” Culley said. “How much? We’re not really sure yet. We’ll determine after practice and availability of our players to play in the game. Because there’s a bunch of guys who didn’t play, I think 10 to 12 guys who didn’t play last week who are going to get reps this week.”
The Cowboys are a 3.5-point favorite for the game, with the total set at 36.5 points.
