The five under-the-radar Cowboys you’ll want to watch in preseason opener vs. 49ers

OXNARD, Calif. -- While well-known players like Cole Beasley, Tavon Austin, Byron Jones and Ezekiel Elliott have stood out most through the first 11 training camp practices, there are a few under-the-radar players who have been quietly turning heads.

Since the starters won't play much, if at all, in the Cowboys' preseason opener Thursday night at San Francisco, here are five camp standouts who should be on the field quite a bit.

1) Charvarius Ward, CB | 6-1, 200

Ward has been modest about his performance so far, calling it only "pretty decent." But in terms of turning in flash plays, he's had one of the best camps of any player on the roster.
