Von Miller's Cowboys Debut in Doubt | Dallas Cowboys News

About this episode

Von Miller’s Cowboys debut hangs in the balance as he skips offseason workouts, leaving coach Brian Schottenheimer unsure if the sack machine will suit up for Sunday’s Giants showdown. Despite being physically ready, roster decisions hinge on special teams and game-day rules allowing 48 players — a puzzle with stakes high for a defense that surrendered too many points last season. Miller, a Texas A&M alum and Super Bowl MVP with 138 career sacks, returns home to Dallas hoping to anchor a revamped pass rush alongside Quinnen Williams, Kenny Clark, Rashan Gary, and young guns like Ezeiruaku and Lawrence. Meanwhile, the Cowboys face injury woes without starting guard Tyler Smith and gear up for a pivotal clash against a Giants squad also rebuilding under new leadership — kickoff at 7:20 PM Central on NBC.
