Cowboys Takeaways: Lamb, Milton incredible plays, Schotty talks Micah vs Eagles, stars out
The Dallas Cowboys have concluded their two open practices for the week after returning to Texas from their summer jaunt in Oxnard, CA. The team returned last weekend ahead of their second preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens and have spent the last two evenings hosting nighttime practice in front of their home fans in the DFW area, giving them a taste of what Californians have experienced since mid July. Thursday's action brought with it a ton of highlight plays, some pertinent conversation from the head coach on the superstar hold-in Micah Parsons, and much more. Schottenheimer believes Parsons will play vs Eagles The elephant in the room is the continuing drama surrounding the contract situation of the star edge rusher Parsons. He and the team have still been unable to reach an agreement on a contract extension, and it appears a real possibility he will enter the season with no guarantees of being in Dallas beyond this season. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer addressed whether he believed Parsons would suit up for the September 4 opener against the Philadelphia Eagles, and he replied with optimism. "I think at the end of the day, we feel like Micah's going to be out there when we line up against Philadelphia here in 15 days or whatever it is," Schottenheimer said [via ESPN]. Play of the Day: Joe Milton deep bomb to Traeshon Holden It hasn't been as great of a ride for Milton as many had hoped this preseason. The second-year quarterback has struggled in game action through two starts, having issues with scanning the field, locking onto targets and general accuracy. This has been disappointing for many Cowboys fans who have watched training camp highlights showing off his incredible arm strength. Thursday brought another such instance, in an incredible hookup with UDFA rookie WR Traeshon Holden, who is looking to force his way onto the 53-man roster. Former stars celebrated at practice As is tradition, the final open practice allows the Cowboys to welcome in and honor some of their past heroes. Safety Darren Woodson was presented with the Tom Landry award, and Charles Haley was caught spending time with Parsons on the sideline. Via Jon Machota: Catch of the Day: CeeDee Lamb is ready for the regular season Fans haven't been able to see the new-look Cowboys offense on display in the preseason, as Schottenheimer is playing things extremely close to the vest, hoping to unarm opponents. That means that there's been no game action for the team's best players, and placing a ton of weight on the disappointing performances of down-roster players performing in vanilla schemes. Make no mistake about it thought, Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb are going to be just fine, and lethal. Fine and lethal. Practice Notes A collection of notes from those in attendance. CB Andrew Booth was getting first-team reps as DaRon Bland was sidelined - Kathleen Ortiz, DMN "A good night for Kaiir Elam so far. Broke up a quick throw to CeeDee Lamb, stride for stride with George Pickens on a go ball that was incomplete." - Todd Archer, ESPN "Something of note that I haven't thought about but just noticed. Tyler Booker is the new silent count hand wave guy since Zack Martin is retired. They are working on it now" - Voch Lombardi "With Luke Schoonmaker and Brevyn Spann-Ford not practicing, Rivaldo Fairweather is working with the 12 personnel group with Jake Ferguson." - Archer This article originally appeared on Cowboys Wire: Cowboys Lamb, Milton make incredible plays in final open practice

AP's dream road trip: How to see every preseason Top 25 team at least once in 2025
Forget about easing your way into college football this year. The schedule includes several enticing matchups before September even starts, including a clash of ranked Big 12 teams facing off in Ireland this weekend, plus multiple top-10 matchups. All of these were considered in AP's annual attempt to map out college football's hypothetical dream road trip. Reviewing the rules: — We must see every team in the AP's preseason Top 25 at least once. — Travel between games must be reasonable in the time available. Long drives and even flights are OK, but if you're at a night game in California, you're not getting to Florida for an early afternoon kickoff the next day. This season's 17-game journey looks like this: No. 17 Kansas State vs. No. 22 Iowa State (Aug. 23 in Dublin, Ireland) The Big 12 now stretches from Arizona to West Virginia, so why not have a game in Ireland as well? The league exports the "Farmageddon" rivalry to Dublin, and in a conference that received only one College Football Playoff bid last season, any matchup of ranked teams looms large. No. 1 Texas at No. 3 Ohio State (Aug. 30) The defending national champs against this year's preseason No. 1. At the Horseshoe. In a rematch of last season's semifinal. This is about as good as August college football can get, even if Buckeyes fans have had their fill of noon kickoffs. The good news is that it gives you plenty of time to travel for next day's kickoff in South Florida. No. 6 Notre Dame at No. 10 Miami (Aug. 31) This on-again, off-again series is back for the first time since 2017 and only the fifth time post-1990. The Fighting Irish haven't won at Miami since 1977. Bonus stop: TCU at North Carolina (Sept. 1) Nobody is ranked in this one, but you have time and Bill Belichick's debut at North Carolina is a fascinating matchup against an accomplished offensive mind in Sonny Dykes. Recall that Dykes and the Horned Frogs were also the opponent for Deion Sanders' first game as Colorado's coach — and that didn't go well for TCU. No. 14 Michigan at No. 18 Oklahoma (Sept. 6) After their rivals (Ohio State and Texas) take center stage in Week 1, the Wolverines and Sooners face a big test after a middling — or in Oklahoma's case, downright mediocre — 2024 season. The Top 25 voters believe both will be better. No. 5 Georgia at No. 24 Tennessee (Sept. 13) Nico Iamaleava's departure for UCLA left the Volunteers facing some real uncertainty at quarterback. The young Bulldogs received one first-place vote in the AP poll, but they didn't have anyone on the preseason All-America first team aside from punter Brett Thorson. No. 12 Illinois at No. 20 Indiana (Sept. 20) These two teams went a combined 21-5 last season, with the Hoosiers making the playoff. There's a decent chance both will be undefeated when they meet up for an early Big Ten clash. No. 7 Oregon at No. 2 Penn State (Sept. 27) This rematch of last season's Big Ten title game is also Penn State's White Out night. The Nittany Lions return quarterback Drew Allar, plus running backs Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen. No. 25 Boise State at No. 6 Notre Dame (Oct. 4) Even after losing Heisman runner-up Ashton Jeanty, Boise State is a threat to earn the Group of Five's spot in the playoff again. The glamour game on the Broncos' schedule is easy to identify. No. 15 Florida at No. 19 Texas A&M (Oct. 11) It looked like Billy Napier's days as Florida's coach were numbered after the Gators lost to Texas A&M at home last year, but they played well down the stretch. Florida heads to Kyle Field for a rematch right in the middle of this year's SEC grind. No. 23 Texas Tech at No. 11 Arizona State (Oct. 18) Just about anything could happen in the Big 12 race — Arizona State went to the CFP last season a year after winning three games. Texas Tech had to deal with some preseason adversity when running back Quinten Joyner went down with a knee injury. No. 14 Michigan at Michigan State (Oct. 25) This game isn't essential because we already saw Michigan back in September. If another matchup this weekend catches your eye, feel free to substitute it. But the Wolverines and Spartans have one of the better in-state rivalries around, even if it occasionally crosses the line. No. 13 South Carolina at No. 21 Mississippi (Nov. 1) Two programs that punch above their weight a bit when it comes to the game day experience. The Rebels host this year's matchup, and once the tailgaters head from The Grove to the stadium, they can brace for an afternoon of running and passing by Gamecocks star LaNorris Sellers. No. 9 LSU at No. 8 Alabama (Nov. 8) Two SEC powers that missed the playoff last season. Brian Kelly and Kalen DeBoer would be well advised to correct that. No. 1 Texas at No. 5 Georgia (Nov. 15) We saw both these teams early in the season, and now it's time to check in on them again between the hedges. Georgia beat Texas twice last season, once on the road and once in Atlanta for the SEC championship. Louisville at No. 16 SMU (Nov. 22) The Mustangs are ranked in the preseason poll for the first time since 1985, before the program received the NCAA 'death penalty' and entered a lengthy period of irrelevance. No. 4 Clemson at No. 13 South Carolina (Nov. 29) The Tigers are the last ranked team we haven't seen yet, and this matchup at Williams-Brice Stadium figures to be electric, especially if it has playoff implications for both schools.

Wisconsin football starting quarterback named to Golden Arm Award watch list
Wisconsin football starting quarterback Billy Edwards Jr. was named to the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award watch list on Tuesday. Presented annually, the award honors the top senior or upperclassman quarterback in the nation. Notable past winners include Shedeur Sanders (2024), Jayden Daniels (2023), Mac Jones (2020), Joe Burrow (2019), Deshaun Watson (2016), Marcus Mariota (2014) and Andrew Luck (2011). Edwards Jr. would become the second Badger to pocket the nod if he emerges from an impressive pack of players to do so, joining former pass-thrower Scott Tolzien (2011). Entering his first season in Madison, Edwards Jr. was one of 58 quarterbacks from across the country to land a spot on the watch list. Notable names in this year's batch include Garrett Nussmeier (LSU), Cade Klubnik (Clemson), Arch Manning (Texas), LaNorris Sellers (South Carolina), Drew Allar (Penn State) and John Mateer (Oklahoma). Edwards Jr. is also one of eight Big Ten quarterbacks to earn the preseason recognition alongside Allar, Luke Altmyer (Illinois), Aidan Chiles (Michigan State), Preston Stone (Northwestern), Fernando Mendoza (Indiana), Athan Kaliakmanis (Rutgers) and Nico Iamaleava (UCLA). The former Terrapin transferred to Luke Fickell's program this winter following three full seasons with Maryland from 2022-24. As a redshirt junior, the Virginia native threw for 2,881 yards, 15 touchdowns and nine interceptions while completing 65% of his passes. He ranked second in the conference with 261.9 passing yards per game and fourth in completions (273) in 2024. The veteran enters his first year at Wisconsin following the departures of Braedyn Locke and Tyler Van Dyke and the introduction of new offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes. With a ground-and-pound offensive system in place, Edwards' productivity in the deep passing game may take a slight hit. His completion percentage, coupled with his 375 yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground over three years, suggests he could help the team excel in short-yardage situations. Edwards Jr. will look to showcase his capabilities in Madison when the Badgers open the season against Miami (OH) on Aug. 28 at Camp Randall Stadium.
