The Dallas Cowboys 2021 schedule has been released, with the NFL moving to an 18-week, 17-game schedule for the first time. It was announced earlier in the day the club will actually kick off the season, traveling to Florida to take on the defending-champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom Brady in Dak Prescott's return after missing most of 2020 due to injury.

What time is the cowboys playing today

(Getty Images/TSN Illustrations)

One of the more interesting quarterback battles of the preseason is set to get underway on Saturday when the Cowboys travel to Denver to take on the Broncos.

At least, if starters were slated to play. Dallas coach Mike McCarthy has said it's "unlikely" Dak Prescott plays in either of the first two preseason games. The same is likely true for most of the first-team offense, including running back Ezekiel Elliott and receiver CeeDee Lamb and a handful of defensive players.

What about Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, who will see his first action in Denver following a trade by Seattle? Nathaniel Hackett hasn't revealed his plans, saying, "every player is a little bit different, every situation is a little bit different."

So, it remains to be seen whether Wilson or any starter will see playing time — and, if so, to what extent.
