The anticipation for the 2024 season is high for the Dallas Cowboys, with free agency and the NFL Draft behind them. Now, the focus shifts to fine-tuning their roster and playbook during the summer, with preseason playing a crucial role in this process.

In mid-May, the Cowboys received their official regular season schedule. Now, they also have their preseason schedule, which includes some intriguing details.

The three preseason games are scheduled as follows:

• August 17: at Las Vegas Raiders, 9:00 pm CDT (Allegiant Stadium)

The 2024 season promises to be an exciting one for the Dallas Cowboys, filled with new challenges and opportunities. Fans are eager to see how the team will perform and whether they can finally reach the Super Bowl.

It may seem unusual to discuss rosters and contracts during the summer, but FC Dallas’s recent early exit from the Leagues Cup with consecutive losses to St. Louis CITY SC and FC Juarez has created an opportunity to address these matters.

As MLS play resumes in D.C. for FC Dallas at the end of the month, interim manager Peter Luccin will face the challenging task of preparing his squad for a playoff push. However, the nine remaining games on the calendar will not only determine the team’s playoff chances but also have a significant impact on the roster for next season.

To get a better grasp of the potential impact of these games, let’s break down the roster based on contract status. This analysis will help us spot players who are fighting for a spot on the 2025 roster and those who might be on the chopping block.

Thanks to the league’s handy Roster Profiles, we have a clear picture of who will be playing for a 2025 contract once the league resumes play later this month.

Currently, FC Dallas has 16 players with contract options for 2025 and two who will be out of contract once the season is complete.

A man is facing charges of aggravated assault after he got into a fight after a multi-vehicle crash on Interstate 635, stabbed a bystander, stole vehicles, and struck other drivers on uesday morning in northeast Dallas, according to police.

The crash and assaults shut down the freeway for about four hours and reopened around 11 a.m.

The initial crash was reported at 7:15 a.m. on westbound I-635 near Forest Lane, Star-Telegram media partner, WFAA-TV reported.

All of the westbound main lanes of the highway, including the two shoulder lanes, were blocked off in the area, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.

Angel Zamora Moreno, 26, started fighting one of the other drivers following the crash, Dallas police told WFAA. Another driver in the multi-vehicle crash intervened and attempted to stop the fight when they were stabbed by Moreno, police said.

A TxDOT employee witnessed the crash and also stopped to assist, according to WFAA. Moreno then got into the employee’s vehicle, hit them and crashed, police said.

Another driver witnessed the incident and stopped to help, according to WFAA. Moreno then entered that driver’s vehicle and struck them, authorities told WFAA.

Moreno was arrested and charged with seven counts of aggravated assault, two counts of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and one count of criminal mischief.

Three people were transported by Dallas Fire-Rescue to the hospital. The driver who was stabbed was in critical condition, police told WFAA. The other two victims were said to be in stable condition.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with video or information of the crash and assaults are asked to contact Dallas Police Detective Marc Tucker at 214-671-3621 or at marctucker@dallaspolice.gov.
