On Tuesday the NFL and NFLPA agreed to completely get rid of the preseason for the 2020 season after initially considering playing just one or two games. In addition to trimming the training camp roster maximums to just 80 players, this will have a significant impact on how teams evaluate their players and make final cuts.
For the Cowboys, with an almost entirely new coaching staff, all they have to go off of is how players perform in training camp and any preexisting film on the player. The lack of in-game experience from preseason games will hurt some players, but could actually help these five players.
