Dallas Cowboys Officially Release First 2025 Depth Chart

This is our first look at who has the upper hand in not only making the team, but earning a spot in the starting lineup.

Preseason Dallas Cowboys 2025 Depth Chart - Offense

Quarterback

Dak Prescott

Joe Milton

Will Grier

Milton officially earns QB2 duties after an impressive offseason. He and Grier will split action in preseason as Prescott prepares for Week 1 after last year's hamstring surgery.

Running Back

Javonte Williams

Miles Sanders

Jaydon Blue

Deuce Vaughn

Phil Mafah

One of the most intriguing competitions at camp, the free agent acquisitions own the top two spots. Each of the top three are expected to contribute throughout the season.

Wide Receiver

CeeDee Lamb

George Pickens

Jalen Tolbert OR KaVontae Turpin

Johnathan Mingo

Ryan Flournoy

Traeshon Holden, Jalen Brooks, Jalen Cropper, Josh Kelly

Similarly, the WR3 job is up for grabs ... and it appears Tolbert and Turpin are still fighting for the final starting lineup job. It's the only spot on the offense with an "or" distinction.

Tight End

Jake Ferguson

Luke Schoonmaker

Brevyn Spann Ford

John Stephens, Princeton Fant

The former second-rounder "Schoon" holds off an up-and-coming Spann Ford in a tight TE2 battle.

Offensive Line

LT: Tyler Guyton, Nate Thomas, Asim Richards, Geron Christian

LG: Tyler Smith, T.J. Bass

C: Cooper Beebe, Brock Hoffman, Dakota Shepley

RG: Tyler Booker, Saahdiq Charles, La'el Collins

RT: Terence Steele, Hakeem Adiniji, Ajani Cornelius

The rookie Booker assumes the spot left open by Zack Martin. Familiar face Collins slides in with the third-stringers for now, but injuries will shuffle this up a bit. Hopefully Guyton gets healthy for a Week 1 showing with this predictable starting lineup.

Preseason Dallas Cowboys 2025 Depth Chart - Defense

Defensive End

Marshawn Kneeland, Tyrus Wheat, Payton Turner, James Houston

Micah Parsons, Dante Fowler, Sam Williams, Donovan Ezeiruaku

The speed group led by Parsons is extremely deep and versatile. Former second-rounder Kneeland is poised to lead run-stopping efforts off the edge as a fringe starter.

Defensive Tackle

3-tech: Osa Odighizuwa, Solomon Thomas, Earnest Brown, Tommy Akingbesote

1-tech: Mazi Smith, Jay Toia, Perrion Winfrey, Denzel Daxon

One-technique will be a must-watch competition between a first and seventh-rounder - Dallas needs a run-stopping force to help out Odighizuwa.

Linebacker

Kenneth Murray

Jack Sanborn

Marist Liufau OR Damone Clark

Justin Barron, Shemar James, Buddy Johnson, Darius Harris,

PUP: DeMarvion Overshown

An interesting opening in the third starting spot is coming down to two youngsters with great upside. "Agent Zero" is expected to return from knee surgery near midseason at best.

Cornerback

CB: Kaiir Elam, Andrew Booth, Troy Pride, Robert Rochell, Christian Matthew

CB: DaRon Bland, Caelen Carson, Bruce Harmon, Zion Childress, C.J. Goodwin (ST)

NCB: Kemon Hall, Israel Mukuamu

PUP: Trevon Diggs, Shavon Revel, Josh Butler

Amid impactful injuries, Hall emerges as a first-teamer in the slot, a major talking point as we approach the season.

Safety

Malik Hooker

Donovan Wilson

Juanyeh Thomas

Markquese Bell

Alijah Clark, Mike Smith

This lineup stays the same as last season.

Specialists

K: Brandon Aubrey

P: Bryan Anger

LS: Trent Sieg

KR: KaVontae Turpin, Juanyeh Thomas, Jalen Cropper, Jaydon Blue

PR: KaVontae Turpin, Deuce Vaughn, Jalen Tolbert, Jalen Cropper

A starting lineup with multiple Pro Bowlers stays intact.

The Cowboys face the Rams in Tuesday's joint practice in Oxnard before their preseason meeting at SoFi Stadium on Saturday at 6 p.m. CT.
