On Monday, CeeDee Lamb, Israel Mukuamu, and Malik Hooker were added to the COVID protocol list. If CeeDee Lamb tests negative for COVID, he will be allowed to return without being in quarantine for 10 days because he is vaccinated.

According to Mike Fisher’s article, Coach McCarthy said, “We’re just being cautious and want to make sure that we contain this outbreak and just be smart with that.” Dallas Cowboys defense dominating in #Training Camp.

We’re just playing ball at this point.” He is expected to start in the Week 1 season opener on September 9 in Tampa Bay.
The Cowboys’ Director of Rehabilitation Britt Brown and training staff worked with Dak Prescott since his injury caused by straining his right latissimus. This is to make sure that his passing arm is in tip-top shape for the regular season. He was able to complete 11 of 12 attempts during Wednesday’s camp practice session.

Missing a meal or having to do extra pushups are just a couple of the penalties enforced by the wagers from the Cowboys defensive backs as they hold one another to a higher standard. The training camp practices have been dominated by the defensive secondary. They are working hard to lock in on the ball and run away with the interceptions. Maurice Canady and Trevon Diggs are approaching their positions as receivers for the Cowboys’ defense rather than just trying to deflect a pass.
