- Brian Schottenheimer delayed practice for a bit Tuesday after a scuffle broke out between safety Markquese Bell and tight end Tyler Neville, saying he would kick the next player who got into a fight off the practice field.

While the coach enjoys the intensity, he wants it channeled in the right direction. He spent the morning meeting talking about back-to-back plays where defensive end Sam Williams was too physical and was sent to the sideline.

- Second-round pick Donovan Ezeiruaku was just about everywhere against the run and the pass. The edge player was in the backfield a ton, forcing a checkdown. He was able to hold his ground against the run as well. A strong start for the rookie.

- CB DaRon Bland was not at Wednesday's practice as he awaited the birth of his child. Andrew Booth Jr. and Caelen Carson saw some time with the first team, while Kemon Hall worked in the nickel, too.

- WR George Pickens put a brief scare into folks when he remained on the ground after a pass. Appeared he was suffering from cramps in his left calf. He received some extra stretching, but he did not appear to be in any distress the rest of the workout, although the No. 1 offense did not take a rep after he went down.

- Through two days, the defense has been aggressive in going after the ball. CB Kaiir Elam had a pick of Dak Prescott on a crossing route to Jalen Tolbert. LB Jack Sanborn forced a fumble. DE Marshawn Kneeland came up with a fumble recovery.

- WR Jonathan Mingo came up with a diving catch on an out-and-up from Joe Milton III much to the delight of the crowd.

- OL Saahdiq Charles was able to plant an on-rushing Perrion Winfrey, lifting the DT off the ground during team drills.

- Some position flexibility notes: Nathan Thomas worked at left and right tackle. Matt Waletzko has seen time at left guard the first two days.

Let's put an end to the underwhelming second rounders over the last 15 or so years. Hopeful on this kid.

Kept reading about other reports on this pick, but not who threw it. I find that a little odd.

I'm really hopeful on EZ.

Well, truth be told, I'm hopeful on all of them, but I have a special spot for our 2nd rounder.
