In the last practice in Oxnard, a lot of familiar faces were sitting on the sidelines as the Cowboys prep for a homecoming preseason game with the Dolphins.
As the final practice began, the Cowboys were without a lot of familiar veterans who were given the day off:
Tony Romo, Jason Witten, Doug Free, Sean Lee among notables not at start of practice today.

DeMarcus Lawrence is not wearing pads. Sean Lee is not on the field

No Romo, no Witten, no Free, no Lee, no DLaw, no Scandrick as the Cowboys begin their final practice before departing California. Vet days.

It has been mentioned that Ezekiel Elliott is not going to play this Friday and he was seen doing some practice off to the side:

Dak got his chance to ride with the ones again but it was a mixed bag in practice:

All in all, it was another day of struggles for the offense as the defense is still performing well enough. It seems as though the offense is getting in their own way:
Jameill Showers just slings ball out right in hurry-up. Brice Butler made great catch near sideline. Dan Bailey 55-yard FG goes off crossbar

Romo may not have been practicing today but he was in attendance:

Finally, the offense was able to get some things going after La'el Collins was called for a false start:

Dak was on the attack as he fit a ball in nicely to Devin Street:

You knew it was only a matter of time before 88 got involved, you can't let this happen on defense fellas:
Overall, it was a poor practice, not too much energy after yesterday's affair had a little too much energy. The offense finally got some swagger back and they built on a poor day yesterday. It may not have started out great but the offense made some plays in the end. Now, the Cowboys head back to Dallas for a preseason exhibition with the Dolphins. Tony Romo may be making an appearance too. That's a wrap from Oxnard, California!
