Yesterday saw a lot victories for the defense, let’s see how the offense reacts today as we get set for another amazing day at Oxnard.
Here are some of the highlights and plays of interest that occurred today in training camp.
First there’s some good news on how Tyler Smith has been performing.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy on LG Tyler Smith: “I’ve really liked the path he’s on because he does some incredible things freakishly. He had a block in a 9-on-7 yesterday that you just don’t see every day.” This is that block vs. DT Osa Odighizuwa. pic.twitter.com/tSeavZU5TQ

And the RB2 race is slowly coming into focus.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said RB Malik Davis is a “very, very natural runner.” Route running, protection have improved. Davis having a strong training camp. “Rico (Dowdle) has had probably the most impressive pass pro pickups of camp.” Team seeing what a healthy Dowdle can do. pic.twitter.com/m9qzJSoXAs

Not what we want to see at camp as Tyler Biadasz exits practice after getting his leg rolled up on.
Pro Bowl center Tyler Biadasz grabbed his right leg and exited drill, walking under own power. But he has rejoined his Cowboys teammates, standing with them on sideline. Good sign. pic.twitter.com/BePIZNMKGc

Could things be on the up for the Cowboys kicker situation?
For the first time in camp, Brandon Aubrey made all of his FG attempts, going 9 of 9 from 33 (3 times) 36, 37, 38, 39, 41 and 43 yards.

And finally, some important player news from the day.
Just mentioned on Inside Training Camp: #Cowboys first-round pick DT Mazi Smith isn’t practicing today here in Oxnard, and a source said he’s getting a precautionary MRI on his knee. Smith has been battling tendinitis in camp.
