The Dallas Cowboys host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers tonight at AT&T Stadium, with kickoff set for 7:15 p.m. on Amazon Prime Video, the team said.
Dallas is 2-2. Tampa Bay is 0-4. It is a short week for the Cowboys, who are playing their third game in 11 days. Defensive tackle Quinnen Williams said he is not tired and is looking forward to the prime-time stage, where he hopes the defense can keep improving. Quarterback Dak Prescott said the team will be ready and will not use the turnaround as an excuse.
The Cowboys opened the practice window for All-Pro guard Tyler Smith, who had thumb surgery before the season and has not played yet. Smith said a debut tonight is possible. The game is also the first at AT&T Stadium for cornerback Joey Porter Jr., who was acquired recently and is expected to take on a larger role.
