The Dallas Cowboys faced the Arizona Cardinals in their second preseason game, where the Cowboys emerged with a 34-13 win. Rookie tackle Drew Shelton played the majority of offensive snaps, while tight end Zack Kuntz significantly increased his playing time due to injuries among other tight ends. On defense, rookie Jaishawn Barham logged over a third of the snaps in his debut, and cornerback Devin Moore made an impact but was targeted by the Cardinals' passing attack.
