After taking a break on Sunday, the Cowboys returned to practice on Monday. Later this week Dallas will play the first of the three preseason games, so things are starting to get a little more interesting. Let’s see how practice went today.
What today’s practice means.
An important next two practices for Cowboys. Their final two (of eight) installs here in Oxnard. Emphasis on competitive work. Back on field now after coach Mike McCarthy believes team found stride Saturday. pic.twitter.com/rAfTka8XDv

The kickers are under the microscope and had a better day than they usually do.
An (all things considered) encouraging start for the kickers today!

Jonathan Garibay goes 5-of-7 during special teams period. Lirim Hajrullahu goes a perfect 7-of-7. Both guys hit their last & longest kick of the period, from about 42-44.
a Mojo Moment likely awaits.

On the other end of that above play, Simi Fehoko works the end zone. Also of note is Will Grier running the 2s.

Jayron Kearse with a back issue being held out. Hopefully nothing serious.

Okay, we see you Michael Gallup. Doesn’t look 100% but moving pretty well.

Anthony Brown is the best player in camp, & I’m positive we didn’t have that on our bingo cards. pic.twitter.com/8ggZeKVrJb

CeeDee gets his revenge thanks to a Dak dime.

The veteran teaches the rookie a thing or two.

FYI - their next rep against each other Smith won handily. pic.twitter.com/nHgN7ybQWb
But the rook isn’t afraid and comes right back for the win.

Find the soft spot and sit. Nice job, rook.

Fehoko is showing up more and more.

Probably would have drawn a flag, but we give Parsons the INT anyway.

When you’re WR1, you have to do this.

2MD. Coaches put the starters on their own ~25 w/ 1:36 to play, trailing 14-12 with one timeout.
— David Helman (@davidhelman_) August 8, 2022
My guess is they wanted to set up a game-winning field goal, but Dak had other ideas. Went 7-for-8, cappped off by this game-winner with 16 seconds to play. pic.twitter.com/Dz1j46Pn3S
Kicker redemption day.
The second string moved the ball into position for a game-winning FG from ~38-40 yards out. Both kickers made it.

Might be the best day overall for those guys.
