After an injury-marked preseason week two game at the Seahawks, the Cowboys played their final tune up before roster cuts and the regular season against the Raiders on Saturday night. The game was defined more by who doesn’t play then those that do when it comes to who makes this team and starts against the Giants in Week 1. In the span of his second training camp with the team and two preseason games, WR Jalen Tolbert has quickly become a player the Cowboys didn’t need to more of before games start to count.
Offseason hype for Tolbert was tempered by the fact Dallas traded for an established vet in Brandin Cooks, lowering expectations for the second-year receiver after unfairly expecting much more from the third-round pick last season.
