Mazi looked pretty good as a rush DT, if he could be a Ratliff type guy that would be awesome. Maybe they were using him wrong. Zeke looked pretty good too. Carson is looking like a steal.

Eric Kendricks, LB - The former First-Team All-Pro has been exceptional thus far in camp, but he was held out of the second padded practice due to what's been described as back tightness. He returned to the field on Monday, Aug. 6 in full pads and moving very well; and he appears to be healthy.

  • Eric Kendricks began camp playing like his hair was on fire, missed a couple of practices due to tightness in his back and returned to practice with even more fire in his hair. The Rams were reminded time and again that there is plenty of fuel left in the former First-Team All-Pro's tank, evidenced early when Kendricks sniffed out a run to the right edge by Kyren Williams and scraped/knifed through traffic to blow up the play and, had it been an actual game, Williams would've been picking his teeth out of the grass. - (Patrik Walker)

  • Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle have both gotten their share of first-team reps in training camp and, in the joint scrimmage against the Rams, Dowdle looked very good with his opportunities. That said, it might've been the best day of camp thus far for Elliott, who also benefited from cavernous run lanes, a nod to the improvement of the offensive line, but Elliott was decisive in his cuts and his burst was on display as well to hit those lanes and quickly make it to the second and, at times, to the third level of the defense.- (Patrik Walker)

Five players to be watching on Sunday:​

​

​

Round 1, Pick 29: OT Tyler Guyton​

This is an obvious place to start, as every team around the league will have the highest expectations for their first-round picks, but things have been going well for Cowboys rookie left tackle Tyler Guyton. There are few things that wreck an offensive game plan more than faults in pass protection, and the Cowboys have the highest of stakes riding on their ability to remain a high octane offense under McCarthy this season. Doing so with a rookie stepping up at left tackle to replace future Hall of Famer Tyron Smith should be reason for pause, but Guyton has done everything possible to instill confidence in his ability to protect Dak Prescott since the moment he was drafted.

Round 3, Pick 87: LB Marist Liufau​

Going into the draft, linebacker was seen as a big enough need for the Cowboys where waiting until the third round to address it was a mild surprise. Only Damone Clark and Demarvion Overshown, drafted under previous coordinator Dan Quinn, returned as experienced players. Adding Kendricks wasn’t exactly the big needle-moving signing here either, but the veteran linebacker has looked rejuvenated in camp and is helping an entirely new look defense play fast and read their keys to continue making splash plays.

The question right now at linebacker for the Cowboys is who can complement Kendricks the best in Mike Zimmer’s defense. Listed as a starter over Overshown on the depth chart for Sunday, rookie Marist Liufau is potentially making his case to be that answer.

Round 2, Pick 56: DE Marshawn Kneeland​

This dynamic has been well covered ever since Sam Williams’ season-ending ACL and MCL tear, with the Cowboys getting thinner at defensive end and now needing second-round pick Marshawn Kneeland to really step into a prominent role. The Cowboys unofficial depth chart doesn’t exactly paint a grim picture without Williams (still written in as DE2 behind only Micah Parsons), but if the team had to play a game that counted tomorrow, Chauncey Gholston being next in line behind the always dependable DeMarcus Lawrence isn’t exactly great.

Round 6, Pick 216: WR Ryan Flournoy, Southeast Missouri State​

It has been a somewhat quiet first training camp for rookie receiver Ryan Flournoy, who perhaps unfairly had elevated expectations placed on him as the only addition to the receiver room for a Cowboys team that lost Michael Gallup in free agency and already was very dependent on WR1 CeeDee Lamb. A sixth-round pick out of a small school, Flournoy has been thrown into the gauntlet in his first NFL training camp, seeing previously unknown players like Tyron Billy-Johnson and Jalen Cropper make big plays consistently.

Round 5, Pick 174: CB Caelen Carson​

The search for quality depth at cornerback beyond Trevon Diggs, DaRon Bland, and Jourdan Lewis was a top storyline for the Cowboys upon arrival in Oxnard. Bland and Lewis have looked excellent in camp with Diggs still recovering from his ACL, and Caelen Carson has fit right in.
