The Dallas Cowboys are probably still reeling from the news of running back Ezekiel Elliott's six-game suspension as they face the Los Angeles Rams Saturday night in their first preseason game (6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET, NFL Network).

You can watch the live stream of the game on NFL gamepass.

The Cowboys are coming off a 13-3 season and the NFC East division title, but repeating as division champions will be more difficult without Elliott, who was suspended for violating the league's personal conduct policy. Elliott reportedly will appeal the suspension, and he's eligible to play in the preseason, but the Cowboys may not risk him getting injured. Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott will like start and play a couple of series in the game.

The Rams have rebooted the team with a new coach in Sean McVay. McVay's fortunes will be tied to the play of quarterback Jared Goff, the No. 1 pick of the 2016 NFL draft. Goff performed miserably during the seven games he started in 2017, but McVay is hoping to do for Goff what he did for Washington 's Kirk Cousins in 2015.
