The Dallas Cowboys close their 2025 NFL preseason with an intriguing matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Will Dak Prescott and Michael Penix Jr. play in tonight’s game?
The Cowboys confirmed that Dak Prescott will not see action tonight. The team doesn’t want to risk its star quarterback with the regular season just around the corner.
Prescott is not dealing with any injuries, but offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer believes the veteran has nothing to prove in a preseason game. His experience allows him to sit this one out.
What about Michael Penix Jr.?
On the other side, Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. won’t play either. Atlanta has also decided to rest him and Kirk Cousins for the preseason finale.
