FRISCO, TEXAS — The Dallas Cowboys closed out their final open practice Wednesday night at The Star, giving fans one last chance to watch the team before the preseason wraps. With the Falcons coming to AT&T Stadium Friday, the focus is now squarely on preparation and evaluation.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer has pushed the team hard in these final days, emphasizing execution and fundamentals over instruction. After weeks in Oxnard, the Cowboys returned to Frisco ready to fine-tune their game before trimming the roster to the official 53-man limit.
Quarterback Joe Milton III will get the start against Atlanta and is competing directly for the backup spot behind Dak Prescott. Veteran Will Grier remains the QB3, meaning Milton’s performance could have a major impact on the team’s quarterback depth chart. Coaches are watching every throw, decision, and read closely.
Meanwhile, star edge rusher Micah Parsons still hasn’t signed a contract extension. Entering the fourth year of his rookie deal, Parsons has been practicing and staying engaged, but a resolution hasn’t come yet, keeping fans and the media waiting.
After Friday’s preseason finale, the Cowboys will cut the roster down to 53 players. For many, it will be the final chance to secure a spot before the regular season kicks off.
