The Dallas Cowboys officially opened training camp and the opening press conference gave us a lot of interesting tidbits. Contracts, holdouts and off-the-field business all were discussed in that setting. But apart from the business in the board rooms, there is the business that needs to be addressed on the practice fields in Oxnard, CA and who is making a push to make 53-man roster come Week 1 of the season. We finally got that with the first practice on Wednesday.
We have the established veterans for whom training camp is merely a formality. For example, the connection between quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb appears to be in midseason form as they hooked up multiple times at practice, including a one-handed grab by Lamb over the middle of the field.
