With one practice now in the bag, there was a lot of news just from the first day. Whether people watched the battle between Stephon Gilmore and Brandin Cooks, or acrobatic catches from CeeDee Lamb, yesterday’s practice had a little of everything.
So what were some of the takeaways from yesterday?
#CowboysCamp Notes - Practice 1 (Part II)

- Loved the physicality and pace of the practice. Looked liked this team was ready to get back to football.
- T. Steele looked to move without problem and was very involved in first practice back
- Limited reps for Pollard getting back

The receivers keep working on drills. Emphasis on eliminating dropped and tipped passes.

Deuce Vaughn making catches. His usage looking as most predicted, a scat-back.

And the running backs run drills.

Dak keeps targeting Jake Ferguson. The clear choice at the moment as starting tight end to take over the vacant position left by Dalton Schultz, especially with Luke Schoonmaker out because of injury.

And so does Mazi Smith.

PICK OF THE DAY
Today’s award goes to Nahshon Wright. Could we be seeing the kids emergence of the 99th pick from 2021?
