Dallas hit on at least two rookies in the defensive back 7 that were free agents.

I believe they will practice this week and play Saturday. That is, if the Cowboys believe they are pushing for starting spots.
If they do not practice this week and ease into practice next week, I would assume the starters are already determined and the rookies will be used as subs in specific packages once the season begins.

Carroll and Brown and Scandrick are the starters, and slot CB in some form. Jones of course at S along with Heath.
All the rookies will be back ups and a few in the dime and a few special packages. They will be brought along as needed before any are put in as starters.
not concerned here, on the hammy's as they have time to get to 100%. But would like to see them out there getting some reps. As opposed to being out there learning as they go in real games. But overall I think they will be fine.

Agreed. I'd rather see them eased into playing time rather than rush and have them injured again.
Some might voice concern about the lack of turnovers generated by the secondary so far in preseason; I'm not one of them. Turnovers will come once all the DBs are healthy and working in their designated packages.

I heard somewhere that Lewis' was really pulled badly. Might be a while.

I would expect several of the "hamstring" bunch to practice this week. Time is getting short for them to have any impact as far as setting the lineup for the start of the season. I'm sure they understand they need to be out there.

Are hammy's contagious? Who the hell is our strength and conditioning coach? Fire him! Let's get people on the field.

This is a problem around the league.
The CBA doesn't allow the trainers to work with these guys much at all. They simply aren't ready for the grind of preseason like the veterans are, and even with vets, they have to prepare largely on their own.
Injuries didn't happen this often 30 years ago. It's a combination of preparation and PEDs.

Garrett is very conservative on injury issues and quadruple conservative on hamstring injuries after the Miles Austin era.

Garrett uses the concussion protocol on hamstring injuries (i.e. Your hammy needs to feel 100% and then he'll wait 3 more weeks).

Lewis didn't practice today.
He's got quite the hamstring strain being out this long.
It's the cancerous culture Parcells told you about.
