Cowboys Nation had to stay up late last night for Dallas’ preseason bout with the Seattle Seahawks and ultimately was rewarded with a 22-14 loss. But a meaningless score isn’t the issue today; the real stories from this game were how certain players did or didn’t shine, and the continued impact on roster building for when the games do matter.
The biggest development of the preseason so far is the mounting evidence that wide receiver Jalen Tolbert is ready to play. It’s an odd path for him; you generally don’t see a Day 2 pick do nothing as a rookie and then turn it around this dramatically in his second season.
