FRISCO, Texas – Cowboys Conclude 2025 Preseason
The Cowboys ended their 2025 preseason on Friday, securing a 31-13 victory against the Atlanta Falcons.
Roster Decisions on the Horizon
As the team prepares to finalize their roster to 53 players, Brian Schottenheimer and his coaching team are faced with tough choices ahead of Tuesday’s 3:00 PM CT cutoff.
Player Highlights from the Preseason
With various position battles ongoing, several players have strengthened their candidacy, particularly in their last game performance. Schottenheimer identified seven players who excelled on film.
James Houston’s Impressive Performance
The Cowboys signed James Houston as training camp began after he impressed during a workout. He continued to shine, demonstrating his pass rush skills throughout the preseason, tallying nine total tackles and a sack against the Falcons.
Joe Milton’s Growth
Joe Milton’s initial two preseason outings were underwhelming, but he showed significant improvement in the final game against Atlanta, accumulating 132 passing yards and one touchdown along with a rushing touchdown.
Rookie Standout Alijah Clark
Returning from injury, rookie UDFA DB Alijah Clark made an impact against the Falcons with three tackles and a tackle for loss. He had previously impressed the Cowboys with his guaranteed contract value post-draft.
Running Back Situation and Receiver Battles
Deuce Vaughn had a notable performance against the Falcons, rushing for 42 yards after a slow start to the preseason. Additionally, wide receivers Ryan Flournoy and Jalen Brooks have made a case for inclusion on the roster, with solid performances in the last game.
