  "account": "In the Seattle Seahawks' preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys, several factors will be closely monitored. Among the starters, Jalen Milroe, Sam Darnold, and Drew Lock will all be part of the game plan, with Milroe potentially seeing significant playing time. The Seahawks maintained most of their Super Bowl roster from last season, but depth chart battles in the bottom-end positions are intriguing.\n\nReceiver spots are up for grabs, with Cody White and Ricky White III as mainstays. Ricky White III and Montorie Foster have impressed in training camp, while Emmanuel Henderson Jr. brings deep kick return experience. Wide receiver standout Rylie Mills, who wowed everyone at training camp, should receive regular preseason reps as his ACL injury is behind him.\n\nOn defense, Velus Jones Jr., who has reinvented himself as a versatile RB/WR hybrid, could get a shot at cracking the 53-man roster while injured backs are sidelined. The cornerbacks' pool is crowded, with Terrion Arnold, Nehemiah Pritchett, Noah Igbinoghene, Michael Dansby, Andre Fuller, and Shamar Jean-Charles all vying for spots.",
