The Cowboys players had a day off yesterday, but it's back to practice today as the Cowboys begin preparations for the first preseason game in Oakland. There will be two more full practices on Friday and Saturday, with a walkthrough on Sunday before the team departs for Oakland.

In injury news, OG Mackenzy Bernadeau will join practice this afternoon, and Garrett announced today that Bernadeau , DE Marcus Spears and CB Teddy Williams will all play against the Raiders. Garrett also said that WR Danny Coale and TE John Phillips have not been ruled out for the game either.
