Jason Garrett: DE Kenneth Boatright flew to Dallas on Sunday to see back specialists after he was hurt early in camp and was hospitalized.

Likely that Cowboys will be missing vs Rams today: Top WR, Top 3 OTs, Top 2 NTs, and Top 4 CBs

Pro Football Focus @PFF
Cowboys La'el Collins was our highest graded offensive rookie after the first week of the preseason.

David Moore ✔ @DavidMooreDMN
Leary is the starter over Collins at this stage. No question. He's responded to the challenge... https://twitter.com/sethrowney/status/633390801976868865…

Brandon George ✔ @DMN_George
CB Morris Claiborne jammed his left hand & WR Devin Street sprained his left ankle when they tangled up and went to ground on play Sunday.

@DavidMooreDMN so you said LC won't be able to beat out Leary? How come? I might have missed something you said earlier

David Moore ✔ @DavidMooreDMN
Said he hasn't beaten out Leary yet. He will sooner rather than later, but doubt it will be by opener...

Jim Thomas ✔ @jthom1
Inglewood Mayor Dave Butts attending Rams practice today, says stadium construction can began there in 118 days, or mid December.

Brandon George ✔ @DMN_George
All Cowboys wearing white today for joint practice with Rams. Usually the Cowboys defense is in blue.

David Helman @HelmanDC
Brandon Carr has reported to practice in full pads. Wonder how much, if any work, he'll do.

Todd Archer @toddarcher
The coaches of both teams have brought the teams together before practice. Have to imagine they're talking about avoiding fights.

David Moore ✔ @DavidMooreDMN
Rookie CB @Byron31Jump won't practice this afternoon due to a sprained joint in his left shoulder. He will be reassessed again tomorrow.

Jon Machota ✔ @jonmachota

Todd Archer @toddarcher
No Ronald Leary at today's practice. Had back spasms earlier in camp. La'el Collins at left guard with first team.

Jeff Cavanaugh @JC1053
La'el Collins will have another great day of practice and Leary will suddenly not have back spasms tomorrow. #Competition

Myles Simmons @MylesASimmons
Individual sessions getting going now. As always, D-line working in techniques to start things off. Special teams going now, too.

Jeff Cavanaugh @JC1053
With no Tyron or Leary, just let Martin & Aaron Donald fight all day. Donald killed everyone at Senior Bowl....except Martin.

Myles Simmons @MylesASimmons
Have no clue how to properly evaluate those things, but to my eyes Foles, Mannion, and WRs looked pretty good in that drill vs DAL CBs.

[DFWJC]

So during all the mini camps and then OTA's. McFadden looked outstanding.
Tweaked hammy and team was ultra conservative bringing him back because, well, it's preseason.
Then he returns and again looks outstanding .

Randle has looked great too. So starter Randle and backup who supposedly will get less carries (so reduced injury risk) McFadden also has looked good.

Yet daily panic continues.

 

[DFWJC]

Two potential playoff teams

I wish our starting line was getting reps vs this great dline.

Trumaine Johnson and Devin Street just mixed it up on the first play of 7v7. Dez came all the way across the field to voice his displeasure.

Myles Simmons @MylesASimmons
Decent job by Jamon Brown on his two attempts against Jack Crawford. Kept his feet in front of the defender.

Drew Davison ✔ @drewdavison
First "fight" occurs after Joseph Randle knocked to ground. Devin Street gets in face of Trumaine Johnson, and Dez Bryant walks on field.

Todd Archer @toddarcher
And Trumaine Johnson lays out Joe Randle in 7v7. Devin Street says something and Johnson throws a punch. And pulled for 2 snaps by coaches

Brandon George ✔ @DMN_George
Jeff Heath with hardest hit for Cowboys D yet. Unfortunately he hit Cowboys LB Andrew Gachkar in 7-on-7 drill.

Excellent news about Mcfadden thus far. And what can you say about Da Beas? Unstoppable.

I was ready to let Cole Beasley go when he left training camp as a rookie.

I didn't think he'd be tough enough to handle the NFL nor make a living as a core special teams player.

Beaz has made believers out of us all.

He's going to challenge Jason Witten for second place in receptions behind Dez Bryant this season.

But I was expecting him to have a great camp and season this year.

I'm most pleasantly surprised with Davon Coleman and Ken Bishop right now.

They may be fighting for one spot depending on how the roster shakes out in the end. I hope we're able to keep them both in some form or fashion.

 

[Staubacher]

Seems that 5th WR battle will come down to Lucky or Harwell. Lucky's fumbles are hurting him and Harwell is raising eyebrows with good WR and ST play.

If they both keep producing, why not just dump McClain, who can never stay healthy?

 

[Bluefin]

Seems that 5th WR battle will come down to Lucky or Harwell. Lucky's fumbles are hurting him and Harwell is raising eyebrows with good WR and ST play.

I like them both.

Lucky Whitehead has legitimate freaky quickness, he can cut on a dime and create instant separation. Fumbles during returns will be a worry but we'll just have to live with that while possibly picking some important spots early in the season to use Cole Beasley.

Nick Harwell is fun to watch run, he's like liquid motion, very smooth movement.

I think he's ticketed for the practice squad at this point.

 

[Bluefin]

If they both keep producing, why not just dump McClain, who can never stay healthy?

I'd love to.

I don't think any team will sign Nick Hayden if Dallas releases him, he'll be sitting on his couch during the season waiting for a call in the event injuries necessitated it.

But the coaches trust Hayden to be available for games.

Terrell McClain has had injury issues while Ken Bishop and Davon Coleman are unproven youngsters at this point.

The kids just have to keep pushing every day, hopefully both will earn the trust of the staff before final cuts.
