MacMahon will live blog the practice. There may be other entries on some of the other blogs. We'll post/move that thread to the Daily Zone.

What to expect today

The Cowboys first practice is at 4:30 p.m. Central and it won't be in pads. That was surprising to some - at least me - last year when Wade Phillips didn't have his team hitting the first day.

But I understand the point. It's a sound one. These guys haven't been in pads since January. That first workout can have a little extra gear to it and then injuries can happen. And the Cowboys will do all they can to avoid injuries this training camp. If you see the offense "win" a number of drills during camp, there might be a reason.

"We'll run around full speed but we're not going to have a lot of contact," Phillips said after Thursday's press conference.

When did it change from the olden days when pads were worn every day and players hit all the time?

"They didn't have a 14-week off-season program and made every workout and you didn't have a strength and conditioning guy," Phillips said. "They showed up to training camp to get in shape, so it took eight weeks. It was an eight-week program to get them in shape and get them ready."
