Dallas Cowboys host Baltimore in the second preseason game, a true dress rehearsal for a roster still sorting depth. Tyler Booker is set to debut at right guard, aiming to prove he belongs as the team looks for a long-term answer there. Booker’s training-camp buzz and first-round pedigree frame his Week 2 test as a potential breakthrough for the Cowboys’ interior line. Marist Liufau steps into a larger role on defense with Kenneth Murray out, while Perrion Winfrey has drawn steady camp applause at defensive tackle. Zion Childress brings UDFA versatility that could keep him in the nickel mix, and Traeshon Holden has shown week-to-week flashes at wideout. Rookie Mazi Smith and Jay Toia carry some uneven Week 1 notes, but Winfrey’s rise and Holden’s early production keep Dallas’ camp narrative lively. All eyes on Week 2 against the Ravens as the Cowboys push to lock in depth before the final preseason stretch.

This week brought significant developments for the Dallas Cowboys, even with players on summer vacation. The recent record-breaking sale of the Los Angeles Lakers for $10 billion only solidifies the Cowboys' status as the most valuable sports franchise, now valued at $10.32 billion. This sale gives owner Jerry Jones leverage to significantly raise the asking price if he ever considers selling the team.

Additionally, the famed Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are set to receive a 400% pay increase, marking a major turnaround from their previous compensation which sparked a lawsuit just a few years ago. Current members hailed the raise as "life-changing." Off the field, roster changes include the signing of defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey and cornerback Robert Rochell, along with two players being cut. Meanwhile, speculation continues regarding the future of star linebacker Micah Parsons and the Cowboys' potential moves regarding veteran players ahead of the training camp starting July 21.
