Cowboys Headlines: Lamb, Pickens to be the NFL's most dangerous duo
Training camp will bring clarity, but the early signs are hard to ignore. Lamb's locked in, Pickens is already turning heads, and Tyler Booker looks like he belongs in the trenches. Even with questions around Javonte Williams' role or how soon Trevon Diggs and DeMarvion Overshown can return, there's belief. The Cowboys aren't just trying to bounce back, they're trying to reset the tone. And if things click the way they're hoping, they just might.

One key area that fans will be excited to watch closely is CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens lining up together in 2025; the Cowboys could end up boasting the NFL's most dangerous deep-ball duo. ESPN's Mina Kimes highlights how both receivers rank in the top five for deep catches over the last three seasons, calling them a 'nightmare' for defenses, especially against single-high coverage. Dak Prescott, who called their presence 'monumental,' has already been building chemistry with both through offseason work, including his annual QB-pass catcher retreat. With elite downfield threats and a fully healthy Prescott, Dallas' offense is primed to stretch defenses vertically like never before.

Tyler Booker's transition from Alabama to the NFL has been smoother than most thanks to Nick Saban's preparation, including reps at both guard spots early in his college career. The Cowboys' first-round pick is stepping in at right guard to succeed Zack Martin, and his passion for winning—fueled by missing out on a national title—has carried into his rookie year. Booker is leaning on fellow Cowboys lineman Tyler Smith, absorbing advice and staying coachable throughout the offseason. His competitive nature, even going viral for flattening a camper at his own youth camp, has earned him respect from teammates who see him as a relentless, NFL-ready presence.

Expectations for Trevon Diggs and DeMarvion Overshown in 2025 are cautious due to both recovering from second surgeries on the same knee. Diggs is rehabbing away from team facilities and may begin training camp on the PUP list, with hopes he returns by midseason. Overshown is working with the Cowboys' staff and could return around October or Thanksgiving, but there's no set timeline. Given their injury history, any contributions from either player this season should be viewed as a bonus rather than a guarantee.

Bleacher Report predicts Javonte Williams as the Cowboys' biggest potential bust for the 2025 season, citing concerns over his post-ACL explosiveness and a crowded backfield. Despite being penciled in as RB1, Williams is expected to split carries with Miles Sanders, Deuce Vaughn, and rookie Jaydon Blue. Dallas had the NFL's 30th-ranked rushing attack in 2024, and there's skepticism that Williams can be the answer. While his $3 million deal limits financial risk, fans and fantasy managers may want to temper expectations.

With Zack Martin retiring after an 11-year Hall of Fame-caliber career, the Cowboys are turning the page to a new era on the offensive line. Pro Bowler Tyler Smith, now entering his fourth season, is stepping into a leadership role and embracing the challenge of becoming the anchor up front. At the OL Masterminds Summit, Smith emphasized his commitment to improving every part of his game and shared advice Martin once gave him: always be an ascending player. With young talent around him and a mindset rooted in growth, Smith is poised to lead the Cowboys' line into a promising 2025 season.

Chiefs owner opens up on Taylor Swift ‘whirlwind' — and the complete change she ‘unintentionally' ushered in
The Taylor Swift effect has reached the Chiefs, according to owner Clark Hunt. During an interview on 'The Pat McAfee Show' on Friday, Hunt discussed the effect Swift's relationship with Travis Kelce has had on his organization following her appearance on the tight end's 'New Heights' podcast. Hunt was nothing short of positive when discussing Swift — specifically citing her impact with female Chiefs fans over recent seasons. Advertisement 3 Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt watches practice during Back Together Weekend at the team's NFL football training camp, Sunday, July 27, 2025, in St. Joseph, Mo. AP 'It's been a whirlwind, I would say, for the organization over the last two years since Taylor literally stepped into our lives. She's done an amazing job, unintentionally, of increasing our female fanbase. 'We used to be about a 50-50 ratio, male-to-female fanbase, and now 57 percent of our fans are female, which I think is probably the highest in the National Football League. So there's absolutely been a Taylor Swift effect.'

'Let me just say how happy we are for their relationship,' Hunt said. 'They're an amazing couple, and watching the two of them together is really special. That podcast, seeing them side by side talking about their relationship, was absolutely amazing.' 3 Hunt says that Swift and Kelce make an 'amazing couple.' New Heights/Youtube Advertisement During her time on the 'New Heights' podcast on Wednesday, the 14-time Grammy winner opened up about her 'rookie' NFL season during the early stages of her and Kelce's relationship, revealing the moment that means the most to her from that year. Swift, who started dating Kelce in 2023, said she cherished the moment when Kelce's mother invited her down to the field to celebrate the Chiefs' AFC Championship game win in 2024. 'The first time I stepped on the field, which would have been when you won the AFC Championship, the first season that I was with you, and it was in Baltimore, and we're in the suite and you just won the AFC Championship, we're freaking out and everybody's screaming, and [Travis'] mom goes, 'Alright, let's go down to the field,'' Swift, 35, said during the podcast. 'I was like, 'What, we're doing, what do you mean? We're going where?' And she's like, 'We're going down to the field,' and I was like, 'Did he say that that's OK?' Cause we hadn't talked about this.'

Browns QB Shedeur Sanders Receives New Major Injury Update
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Fresh off an impressive 138-yard, two-touchdown performance in the Cleveland Browns' 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers last weekend in their preseason opener, fans were likely excited to see what rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders planned to do for an encore in the second week of the preseason. But as the team has been preparing to play the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field, Sanders suffered a small injury setback on Wednesday after it was announced he was expected to miss some time with an oblique injury he suffered in joint practices against the Eagles. "If it's a right guard, you can play through that," Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said, via ESPN. "When it's a quarterback, you kind of need that muscle to throw. So, unfortunately, going to put him down for a little bit here. We'll treat it day-to-day and see how it responds. But [we] want to be smart because he's a thrower — you can't push that thing." More NFL: Shedeur Sanders Trolls Bowns GM After Eye-Opening Preseason Performance While no initial timetable was given on exactly how much time Sanders would miss, Browns fans got some encouraging news about when they could expect to see Sanders back on Friday evening courtesy of NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "Shedeur Sanders will not play (Saturday) against the Eagles because of that oblique injury that knocked him out of practice on Wednesday," Pelissero reported. "However, I am told there is cautious optimism that Sanders could return to practice next week and be able to play in the preseason finale.

Tilton/Getty Images More NFL: Odell Beckham Jr. Sparks Steelers Rumors With Aaron Rodgers Comments "Officially, the Browns are calling him day-to-day, and they've got just one of many injury issues in that quarterback room," Pelissero added. Sanders is the latest in a long line of injuries that have ravaged Cleveland's QB room. While presumed Week 1 starter Joe Flacco has been fortunate to make it through the first two weeks of training camp unscathed, both Kenny Pickett and Dillon Gabriel have both been hampered by hamstring injuries. Pickett won't play against the Eagles, but there is optimism Gabriel, who threw for 3,857 yards, 30 touchdowns and just six interceptions at Oregon last season, could be healthy enough to get the start. "They're hoping Dillon Gabriel is going to wake up feeling good enough (Saturday) that he can go out and start and make his debut after his own hamstring injuries," Pelissero continued. "If not and all else fails, then it's going to be a whole lot of Tyler 'Snoop' Huntley against the Eagles." More NFL: Browns Reporter Sends Message to Shedeur Sanders After Viral Confrontation

Jerry Jones was surprised Netflix omitted the Troy Aikman/Steve Walsh storyline
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has a note or two for Netflix. In an interview with Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal, Jones expressed surprise over the decision of producers of the soon-to-be-released Cowboys documentary to overlook one specific aspect of the formation of the Cowboys team that won three Super Bowls in the 1990s. Jones expected the eight-part series to address the team's decision to use a first-round pick in the 1989 supplemental draft on Miami quarterback Steve Walsh, weeks after investing the first overall pick in the 1989 draft on UCLA quarterback Troy Aikman. The tension sparked by the selection of Walsh was, per Jones, 'the most trying time of all and I was surprised they missed that.' It really was a battle. In September 1990, Walsh was traded to the Saints. He appeared in 80 regular-season games with 38 starts, but he never achieved anything close to the success Aikman enjoyed. Walsh finished with 7,785 passing yards, 40 passing touchdowns, 50 interceptions, and a passer rating of 66.4. For the Cowboys, it ended up being a footnote. But there's an interesting alternate reality in which Walsh had become the starter. Would the Cowboys have won three Super Bowls? Would they have won even one? And what would Aikman have become if he'd been traded to the Saints a year later?
