The NFL schedule is being leaked slowly but surely, and the Charlotte Observer is reporting the Carolina Panthers will host the Dallas Cowboys to open the 2018 season.

That will mark the first time the Cowboys have started on the road since 2012.

Week 2 will be a home game against the New York Giants.

The other home dates include Thanksgiving vs an opponent TBA; Thursday Nov. 29 vs. the New Orleans Saints; and Week 16 vs the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Cowboys will close the season at the Giants in Week 17.

 

Another schedule leak? The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles will host the Atlanta Falcons for the season-opening game.

The Cowboys were thought to be in the mix for that game, but the NFL opted to put the Eagles against the 2016 NFC champions.

The full schedule comes out later tonight so check back on the Star-Telegram for a full analysis.
