IRVING – The Cowboys are close to a deal that would send them back to Oxnard, Calif., for training camp this summer, according to two sources.
The Cowboys trained at the Alamodome last year, but a scheduling conflict with the San Antonio facility has forced the club to look at different locations.
From 2004 to 2006, the Cowboys trained at the River Ridge facility in California next to a Marriott Residence Inn. They also spent two weeks there in 2001.
Official training camp dates have not been set, but it generally begins the last week of July.
City and team officials met earlier this month about the logistics of holding training camp in Oxnard again. The players and former Cowboys coach Bill Parcells enjoyed training camp in California because the cooler temperatures led to more conducive work in a self-contained area.
The Cowboys signed a five-year deal with the city of San Antonio last year, knowing they would probably have to find another location in 2008. The deal with San Antonio runs through 2011.
Briefly: Safety Roy Williams played in a limited role in Sunday's Pro Bowl because of flu-like symptoms that slowed him down much of the week. ... Cornerback Evan Oglesby and receiver Isaiah Stanback are rehabbing from shoulder surgery performed after the season. ... Left guard Kyle Kosier is recovering from right ankle surgery.
