Cowboys news: Dallas plans to leave it’s defense on the field for a half in Texans game

Who will play against the Texans?

The elevator pitch on this upcoming season for every Cowboys fan was pretty clear: The offense should be great if the players are healthy and the defense just needs to be good enough for the team to reach playoff contention. As the team approaches their third preseason game against the Houston Texans on Saturday, it looks like fans will get a better preview of how the defense is looking and will have to continue to assume the offense will perform come September based on talent.

Before Friday’s practice, Mike McCarthy said that the amount the starters will play on Saturday is different for the two sides of the ball.
