The Dallas Cowboys are rolling into Lumen Field this Saturday, August 15th, 2026, for their preseason opener against our Seahawks. Forget seeing the big names out there though, because nobody expects star players for either team to see much action. We know how this goes in preseason, right? What we *will* see are those intense roster battles, and for the Cowboys, that means a serious fight for the QB2 spot.
Cowboys’ QB Battle and Rookie Watch
Down in Arlington, the talk is all about who steps up behind center for Dallas. It’s a straight-up battle between QB Joe Milton III and QB Sam Howell for that backup quarterback position. These guys will be slinging it, trying to prove they belong. Beyond the QB room, the Cowboys are planning on playing rookies Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence this week. It’ll be interesting to see how much those young guys hit the field, but it’s clear they’re looking to make an impression. You know our guys will be battling just as hard for those spots, too.
Game Details and That Pesky Prediction
If you’re ready to get your football fix and cheer on the Hawks, even if it’s preseason, mark your calendars. Kickoff is set for 8:00 PM EST right here at Lumen Field in Seattle. You can catch all the action locally on KTVT 11 or nationally on NFL Network. For those listening in, 105.3 The Fan or SXM have you covered. Both teams are starting with a clean slate, 0-0 on the season. But get this: FanDuel has Dallas favored by 2.5 points. And the prediction? Cowboys 23, Seahawks 18. Seriously? In our house? Our 12s are going to bring the noise, even for preseason!
We’re all looking forward to seeing who emerges from the intense roster battles. Get ready to dive into some August football and see who steps up for the Emerald City this Saturday!
