Cowboys Headlines: Overconfidence at RB? Schedule news, franchise great passes away
The Cowboys may be overly confident at 2 key positions. Plus the latest on the 2026 schedule, and Super Bowl QB Craig Morton passes away at 83.
The Cowboys and their fans now have the details on 16. 6% of their 2026 regular-season schedule. With news that the team will kick off the Sunday Night Football slate in Week 1 on the road versus the Giants and then, two months later, host the Eagles for their traditional Thanksgiving Day dinner, three of the Cowboys' 18 weeks are now penciled on the calendar.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. The team itself is still very much a work in progress. And, as it turns out, there may still be some holes that need patching.
Everyone is feeling good about the draft and some of the additions made in free agency, but have they done enough depth-wise at all the key positions? Today's headlines explore running back and linebacker with an eye toward what is still needed before that September trip to MetLife. And the Cowboys say goodbye to a legend...
but they're not the only ones. Craig Morton wasn't just the first Cowboys quarterback to start a Super Bowl or the guy who got nudged out of town by Roger Staubach. He went on to enjoy a stellar comeback stint and further glory with the Denver Broncos .
