The Dallas Cowboys welcome the Baltimore Ravens to AT&T Stadium for Week 2 of the NFL preseason. Both teams are looking to evaluate young talent, sharpen depth pieces, and build rhythm as the regular season approaches.

Cowboys Outlook
The Cowboys are giving rookie quarterback Joe Milton III another start after his up-and-down debut last week. The coaching staff wants to see how he responds with more game reps.
First-round pick Tyler Booker will also make his preseason debut, strengthening the offensive line. On defense, undrafted rookie Zion Childress turned heads with an impressive performance in Week 1, and he’ll get another opportunity to prove himself. Running back Phil Mafah and tackle Nathan Thomas are also names to watch as they fight for roster spots.
⸻
Ravens Outlook
The Ravens continue to rest Lamar Jackson, leaving veteran Cooper Rush to start under center. The focus is on evaluating depth, especially along the defensive line and edge.
Young pass rushers like David Ojabo and Adisa Isaac are expected to see plenty of action, while rookies such as Rasheen Ali and Jay Higgins are battling to secure roster roles. Baltimore’s coaching staff is particularly watching how their second- and third-string units perform under pressure.
