We enter mid-week of practices in the second week of training camp. Already some players are showing promise and huge improvement. Some impressive work so far from the offense in general and Dak Prescott looks to stay on his hot-streak after Tuesday’s performance. So here are some of the key points and highlights from todays events at Oxnard.
During the press conference before training started, Mike McCarthy made some interesting comments.

And talking of running backs, keep an eye on Rico Dowdle as he looks to claim the RB2 role.

On Tuesday, it was Dak Prescott and the #Cowboys offense owning the RZ/2-point conversion drill. Two days later, other than Simi Fehoko’s TD?

Defense broke out the clamps.
