The Dallas Cowboys are gearing up for the 2026 NFL season, and all eyes are on Thursday night's schedule release. With the league unveiling its slate of international and holiday matchups, the Cowboys are expected to log some serious travel miles—ranking among the highest in the NFL. From the first-ever game in Paris (Steelers vs. Saints) to a Thanksgiving Eve showdown in Los Angeles (Packers vs. Rams, streaming on Netflix), the season is shaping up to be a global affair. The action kicks off just as 2025 ended, with Seattle hosting New England.

Back in Dallas, a new 53-man roster prediction has fans buzzing. The running back position remains a puzzle, with potential shake-ups including a familiar face who might join the squad as a cap casualty. But whoever carries the rock will take a back seat to quarterback Dak Prescott, who's favored to lead the league in touchdown passes this season. While the offense steals headlines, the defense faces questions until game day arrives. From rookie unknowns to an interior overhaul, fans are looking to new defensive coordinator Christian Parker and fellow architect Derrick Ansley to rebuild the unit.

Around the league, there's good news in Atlanta as QB Michael Penix throws again just months after an ACL tear. Meanwhile, a troubling story emerges from New England, where seventh-round rookie linebacker Quintayvious Hutchins faces domestic assault charges. And for those who can't get enough gridiron drama, Netflix has announced the next batch of quarterbacks featured in season 3 of their hit docuseries "Quarterback."

Whether you're tracking roster cuts, travel miles, or defensive rebuilds, this season promises plenty of action—on and off the field. Stay tuned for the official schedule release, and gear up to support your Cowboys wherever they play.
