The Cowboys are looking to bounce back from a heartbreaking season in which the team saw Dak Prescott lost for the season due to a horrific ankle injury. The team was still in contention for the NFC East title for most of the year but fell short as the Washington Football Team took the reins.

The schedule for the first week of the NFL season started to trickle out Wednesday hours before the full schedule release at 8 p.m. ET.
