Cowboys release first unofficial lineup

FRISCO, Texas — Before the season opener against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon, the Dallas Cowboys released their first unofficial depth chart on Tuesday, with all 22 starters for the first week being announced.

The starters include four newcomers, including two from the offensive line: Left tackle Tyler Guyton, center Cooper Beebe, linebacker Marist Liufau and cornerback Caelen Carson will all be on the field for the team’s first snaps.

Here is the full list of offensive starters:

QB: Dak Prescott, RB: Ezekiel Elliott, WR: CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks, Jalen Tolbert, TE: Jake Ferguson, LT: Tyler Guyton, LG: Tyler Smith, C: Cooper Beebe, RG: Zack Martin, RT: Terence Steele

Here is the full list of starters on defense:

DE: DeMarcus Lawrence, Micah Parsons, NT: Mazi Smith, DT: Osa Odighizuwa, LB: Damone Clark, Eric Kendricks, Marist Liufau, CB: Trevon Diggs, Caelen Carson, NCB: Jourdan Lewis, S: Donovan Wilson, Malik Hooker

As expected, the special teams starters include Brandon Aubrey as kicker, Bryan Anger as punter and Trent Sieg as long snapper.

Highlights in the depth units of each position group include Rico Dowdle will back up Elliott at the running back position, while new additions Jordan Phillips and Linval will support Joseph Odighizuwa and Mazi Smith, respectively, on the interior of the defensive line.

With a lack of depth at the cornerback position due to the absence of DaRon Bland for at least the first four weeks of the season, Andrew Booth and CJ Goodwin are listed as replacements for the outside corner positions, while Israel Mukuamu Lewis backs up in the slot.

After a competition for the backup quarterback job failed to lead to a change of mind among Dak Prescott’s coaching staff, Cooper Rush was listed as the second option ahead of Trey Lance.

As a reminder, since the lineup is unofficial, there may be changes before the opening game on Sunday.
