The first half of the Hall of Fame Game is in the books in Canton, Ohio, and the preseason is officially underway. Through two quarters both offenses failed to truly light up the scoreboard as Dallas entered the halftime locker room with a 3-0 lead over Pittsburgh. That said, there were some promising flashes from a number of players that will have a key role for each club during the regular season. Cowboys’ first-round pick Micah Parsons made his presence felt immediately after recovering a fumble on the Steelers’ first offensive possession. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh’s first-rounder, running back Najee Harris, also showed some encouraging signs early. He finished his night with 22 yards on the ground to go along with one catch for 3 yards.
As we move forward toward the second half, it’ll be fascinating to see which players can pop and begin stating their case to make the opening 53-man roster. It’s during these moments in the preseason where roster spots are truly up for grabs.
