IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys are not going to the extremes the Miami Dolphins will go to in keeping their rookies off the field entirely, but coach Jason Garrett will alter the rookie minicamp schedule this weekend.
The Cowboys are scheduled to have a morning walk-through plus an afternoon practice. In the past, the Cowboys have put the players through two-a-day practices. New Miami coach Adam Gase will not have his players on the field at all for the Dolphins’ three-day minicamp, choosing to focus on mental preparation.
The workload is taxing for players coming off the draft process and they are often not in the best condition.
