The Dallas Cowboys were back out on the Oxnard fields today to put in a little work at practice. It’s the Cowboys 14th practice but soon they will be packing up and headed back to the Star in Frisco.

Before we get into the highlights, the Cowboys did work out a handful of players today:
Cowboys worked out OL Daronta Bouldin, WR Darren Carrington and safeties Dominic Sanders, Ryan Murphy and Deron Washington after their walkthrough today, as @toddarcher reported earlier.

Depth is kinda thin at all 3 spots, so it'll be interesting to see who they sign, if anyone.
The Cowboys did sign a few guys today. First up, Jacob Alsadek, he is a UDFA guard from Arizona, who spent a little time with the Packers.
Hooray https://t.co/qFUGKdPBN3
— RJ Ochoa (@rjochoa) August 13, 2018
They also signed another wide receiver, Darren Carrington, he worked out for them today:
Cowboys signing former Utah WR Darren Carrington, per source.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 13, 2018
Also, just a quick congratulatory shout out to Alfred Morris, the former Cowboys running back signed with the 49ers. He deserves mention because he was just an all-around stand-up guy:
The 49ers are signing former Cowboys RB Alfred Morris.

Randy Gregory, who made his way into team drills yesterday, finally broke his silence and got a chance to talk to the media, great stuff here:

In other defensive line news, one really important guy was activated off PUP today, that would be Maliek Collins!
Cowboys DT Maliek Collins has passed his physical and has been activated from the physically unable to perform list
— Jon Machota (@jonmachota) August 13, 2018
On the same day he was taken off PUP, Maliek Collins is participating in pre-practice walkthrough. Not sure what that means for his practice regimen, but that’s a positive sign #cowboyswire

If the D-Line is called the “Hot Boyz”, what’s a good nickname for these two?

Nowhere to go for Ezekiel Elliott in team drills but whoever threw him to the ground should be arrested by Oxnard PD:

FWIW, Dan Bailey has been almost perfect since his two rough practices last week. Just crushed all of his FGs during special teams period, with longs of 46 & 48. #cowboyswire

Schultz was the beneficiary here on a nicely placed pass from Mike White:

— Jon Machota (@jonmachota) August 14, 2018
On second-look, that’s a pretty big lapse in coverage for the DB’s to leave Schultz that wide open:

That’s the best way to end the day on a high note for the offense. It seems like another receiver takes over every practice. Today, it was the Dak Prescott to Allen Hurns Show in full effect.
The Cowboys have a day off tomorrow but tune in to BTB for all Cowboys updates by the minute!
