Dallas Cowboys special teams open Week 1 with Nick Sorensen steering a veteran-led unit that stresses tone-setting from Aubrey and Wilson, energy from Turpin, and a growing role for Tolbert as rookies adapt. The plan leans on depth, cross-training, and playing fast and simple, especially with kickoff rule changes looming. Aubrey’s captaincy signals reliability; Turpin’s energy drives the return game while veterans anchor coverage.

With more returns possible, decisions hinge on returners, coverage, score, and weather. Sorensen emphasizes roster versatility and sustained leadership to weather injuries and keep units cohesive. The goal is a depth-forward, energy-rich unit that can influence field position and scoring as Week 1 unfolds.
