The Dallas Cowboys are less than one week away from the NFL opener against the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles as Week One of the 2025-26 regular season officially kicks off.
It’s been a wild couple of days for Cowboys fans, but now the Week One showdown is fully in everyone’s sights.
On Friday, the team returned to practice and later released the first unoficially depth chart for the first week of the season. There is still plenty that can change, but it’s a quick glimpse at what the lineup could look like if everyone stays healthy throughout the upcoming week of practice.
