Dallas Cowboys focus on key players during preseason game in Arizona

The Dallas Cowboys are set to face the Arizona Cardinals in a preseason game on August 21, 2026. As the team prepares to solidify its roster, three offensive players are under pressure to demonstrate their capabilities: RB Jaydon Blue, QB Joe Milton, and WR Jonathan Mingo. Blue, struggling with inconsistency and a recent shoulder injury, must show he can secure the RB2 role. Milton, who had an impressive showing in the first preseason game, needs to build on that performance to establish himself as the backup quarterback. Mingo hopes to leverage a solid outing from the previous game to earn a spot on the final 53-man roster. The performance against Arizona will be critical for these players to prove their value to the team.
