Kristi Scales said on @1053thefan that rookie first round pick Tyler Booker should get 20-25 plays tonight.
Cooper Beebe will also play tonight, interestingly enough.

Take 2. The Dallas Cowboys have returned from their West Coast training camp and are ready to buckle down in preparation for the 2025 season. The first step back in Texas? Their second exhibition game of the year, this time hosting the AFC’s Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night.
The Cowboys came out the gate slowly in their first preseason action, failing to mount much of an offense until late in the game. With Dak Prescott once again sitting out the preseason, a time-honored tradition since 2019, second-year QB Joe Milton will once again get the start. It took a while for Milton to settle in last week, and he’ll need a stronger performance to convince Brian Schottenheimer and the coaching staff that he’s capable of being the regular season backup.
How to Watch: Cowboys vs Ravens
The Cowboys will play more starters than last week, with at least first-round rookie Tyler Booker making his professional debut, but the staff has held their plans tightly to the vest. Schottenheimer has already stated he doesn’t plan to reveal much of their scheme, rather saving the bells and whistles for the Week 1 opener in Philadelphia against the champion Eagles. For now, the Ravens are the task and fans can keep up with all of the action here.
Check back throughout the evening as we provide updates on the exhibition contest in Arlington, with the most recent highlights appearing at the top.
Who’s in, Who’s out? The Cowboys are going to break out their new center-right guard tandem tonight, with rookie Tyler Booker making his debut. The team will have Cooper Beebe, who sat out the exhibition opener. Rookie running back Jaydon Blue will not see action, however.
Longtime #Cowboys national anthem trumpet performer, Freddie Jones, has retired.
Moving forward, the national anthem will be performed by a different member of the military — still by trumpet.
