The Cowboys are prepping for the Ravens and head coach Mike McCarthy spoke with the press. Here is what he had to say. (All answers are paraphrased and not actual quotes).
Aldon Smith is back
It was a bit of an absent week early on for Aldon Smith who was battling an illness. McCarthy noted that he expects Aldon to return to practice on Saturday.
A very weird calendar
The Cowboys have experienced time in a weird way as far as normal NFL routines are concerned. McCarthy noted that it has definitely been strange and that the team has focused on naming days by objectives so as to avoid any mild confusion or discomfort that these times may cause.
