Here are all your highlights from the morning practice at Cowboys’ training camp in Oxnard.

The Cowboys had a morning practice today before they head out to Canton, Ohio for the Hall of Fame game. Don’t expect many starters to see any playing time in this game against the Cardinals:

Tyron Smith wasn’t practicing for the second consecutive day, we finally got a little clarity as to what’s going on:

Tyron Smith dealing with some back tightness today. Doesn't seem too serious

ALERT: source tells @1053thefan that Tyron Smith has back tightness. Therefore, #Cowboys rest him today. Not considered serious. pic.twitter.com/DHpTjRvMLn

The first-team defense today was as follows:


Crawford, Paea, Thornton, Lawrence
Wilson, Hitchens, Lee
Carroll, Scandrick, Jones, Heath

And the roles have been reversed, Dez already has one touchdown pass to his career:

After yesterday’s sloppy practice, Jason Garrett was driving home a point in today’s to bring the energy:


Garrett is pumped for practice this morning: dynamic! Let's make it a dynamic practice!

Seems more like the wind got knocked out of him coming down, he returned:

Goal line drills some of the most intense football in camp so far. Offense wins most snaps.

Offense won six of eight reps over defense in goal-line drills.

The best thing about today’s goal line drills was the fact that Jaylon Smith was participating in it:

That’s a wrap for this week’s practice, today was much smoother than yesterday's slop-fest. The Cowboys will have a walk-through tonight and head out to Canton tomorrow. The Cowboys exhibition game with the Cardinals will be on Thursday night and it all will culminate with Jerry Jones entering the Hall of Fame this weekend. Preseason football is going to be a sight for sore eyes, cowboyszone.
