Cowboys rookies to get head start on rest of team
Posted by Charean Williams on June 19, 2017, 2:42 PM EDT
The Cowboys rookies will get a head start on training camp, reporting three days early. The rookies will work at The Star, the team’s training facility in Frisco, for the three days before the entire team flies to Oxnard, Calif., on July 22.
The Cowboys’ first practice in California is July 24.
While having rookies report early is common for many teams, it is an unusual move for the Cowboys. But the Cowboys will be relying on a number of rookies, including receiver Ryan Switzer, defensive end Taco Charlton and defensive backs Chidobe Awuzie and Jourdan Lewis.
“It really will be the same roster as a rookie camp,” Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said, via the team website. “What you’re allowed to do is bring true rookies in, then players with no accrued seasons, so all the guys that fit those categories will be here. You’re also allowed to bring some injured guys, so we’ll selectively choose those guys if we feel like they need some time.”
