The long awaited return of professional football is finally here. There were points this off season where an NFL season seemed improbable, but the Chiefs and Texans get it all started tonight. The Cowboys began their 2020 just three short days later, in the SoFi stadium opener against the LA Rams.
La’el Collins and Sean Lee may be out for the Rams opener, but other than that, the Cowboys are relatively healthy. Mike McCarthy just confirmed the positive status of Amari Cooper and two starting secondary members. Replacing Collins will be a challenge, but McCarthy is ready to try whoever it takes to get the job done. Sunday will mark a return to Los Angeles for Cowboys special teams coach, and kicker Greg Zuerlein. The new coaching staff is bringing energy to the Cowboys. Plus, a prop betting breakdown involving all your favorite Cowboys stars.
