It’s another beautiful day in Oxnard and another beautiful day of Cowboys football. As the team run out for a second day of padded practices, we get to see more work from the guys in the trenches.
Here is some of todays highlights at training camp.
Mike McCarthy talked about what he likes about the team and also about plans at running back after the recent news on Ronald Jones.
It's all about balance.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy when asked why not bring back Ezekiel Elliott: “Well, because of the reps. We’re just not going to hit a bump and then give up on the path. We want to see these young guys. I want to see them play in games.”

He also talked before training started on Jalen Tolbert who has impressed so far.
Mike McCarthy on Jalen Tolbert:

"I don't recall a day he hasn't been there since the season ended. He's been in the weight room getting as much work as he can. I think he's running his routes with a lot more physicality. I think he's got off to a nice start."#DallasCowboys
Trevon Diggs is getting more involved.

The kicking competition continues. So far it’s pretty close but today Brandon Aubrey was a little better.
Cowboys kickers just completed a seven field-goal set at practice’s outset. Brandon Aubrey went 6-for-7, missing wide right from 39, right hash. Tristan Vizcaino was 5-for-7, bouncing a 33-yarder, left hash, off left post and missing wide left from 48.

MOJO MOMENT
Mojo Moment: the first team offense scored on all five 2-point play scenarios with Dak Prescott hitting Jake Ferguson (2), CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks and KaVontae Turpin for TD passes. Not every rep however was against the first team defense.
