NFL Draft season officially kicks off this week in Indianapolis with the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium. For the Dallas Cowboys, it will be the first time for new head coach Brian Schottenheimer to address the national media.

While Schottenheimer will be taking the podium during combine week, there will be one noticable absence.

Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, who typically has a lot to say, will not be speaking with the media in Indianapolis.

Jones is one of three NFL general managers who will not be available. Miami Dolphins GM Chris Grier and Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles will also be skipping media availability.

With Jerry skipping out on media availability, it will be the Schottenheimer show in Indy.
