Monday marked the beginning of padded practices for the Cowboys’ training camp, which always brings with it an uptick in intensity. Head coach Mike McCarthy gave the team a day off Sunday, which meant players were even more energized for Monday’s work.
It’s still very early on, but getting the pads on means we can get a better idea of how individuals are performing in camp. Monday’s practice was noticeably faster and more competitive than the previous week’s. Here are some of the most prominent battles from the day.
Honorable Mentions
Dak Prescott vs Trevon Diggs
By all accounts, the Cowboys’ best players have all been looking sharp to this point in training camp.
