Dalton Schultz is set to face the Cowboys for the first time since leaving the team after the 2022 season. After spending five years in Dallas, he signed a one-year deal with the Texans in the 2023 offseason and has quickly become a key target for quarterback C.J. Stroud, recording 59 receptions for 635 yards and five touchdowns. Following his strong performance, he signed a three-year, $36 million contract extension with Houston. Reflecting on his time with the Cowboys, Schultz noted the unique pressures and distractions of the franchise, describing the environment as akin to a "zoo" due to the constant attention and tours around the facility.
