5) Ever since Jason Witten departed, the battle for the tight end spot has been open for anyone to take. If Dalton Schultz is healthy, can he take the starting role away from Blake Jarwin?

SM: Absolutely. After Jarwin suffered an ACL injury in Week One last season, Schultz stepped up and proved he’s a true NFL starting tight end. And that trend has only continued in training camp. Having both is a luxury for the Cowboys this season. And both have much to prove as Jarwin is coming off that injury after signing a four-year, $22 million extension last March while Shultz is entering the final year of his rookie deal in Dallas.

With the Cowboys and Texans set to square off, these questions will be answered by the game themselves Saturday night. If the Texans can go 2-0 against Green Bay and Dallas alike, then that would provide some positivity heading into the regular season.

Dallas will have their success if Dak is healthy and they play up to their talent level and potential. They are very capable of winning the NFC East this season, and their preparation for that goal continues with this is preseason game against the Texans.
