Dallas Cowboys preseason opener shows concerns on offensive line depth
Summary

The Dallas Cowboys faced the Seattle Seahawks in their preseason opener on Saturday. Despite overcoming an early deficit, the Cowboys displayed issues, particularly with their interior offensive line depth. The absence of backups Brock Hoffman and Matt Hennessy highlighted the team's lack of depth, with T.J. Bass emerging as the only reliable option. The coaching staff, led by Brian Schottenheimer, will need to address these concerns moving forward, especially with the regular season approaching.
