The Cowboys are home for a midweek preseason special against the Oakland Raiders Thursday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
While preseason games are generally meaningless, they have so far proven costly for the Cowboys, as TE John Phillips will be out for the season after tearing his ACL in the preseason opener Sunday night against the Bengals. Phillips was looking at an increased role as a bit of a Jason Witten starter kit, with his ability to catch and block from the line and in the backfield. Now those duties will go to Martellus Bennett, assuming he can get over his ankle injury.
