DL drill where Crawford got hurt. Crowd-pleaser. Big guys hitting tackling dummies right in front of them. pic.twitter.com/va1HyeXBiu
Romo throw hit this kid in the face. Security didn't let him keep the ball. Dez have him an elbow sleeve. pic.twitter.com/EcwIZ9pdHu
Next play, Romo hit Williams deep in. Clocked it 2 seconds left. Spencer Benton GWFG.
I haven't spent enough time watching the linebackers. DeVonte Holloman athleticism stands out. Just skied for a pick on skeleton drill.
Webb with a punt drop. Ends extended special teams period. Had some fake field goals in there. Witten dropped a pass from holder Chris Jones
Benton misses left. Scandrick would have blocked it from left end. Day off for Bailey's leg.
Todd Archer ‏@toddarcher 2m
Two on two work featuring bunch formations with WRs/DBs. Haven't seen this before. Good work
Long shot to make team but Tim Benford has had nice couple of days. Slow start due to knee surgery in offseason.
Romo throw away that lands in crowd. A dad caught ball as held son but son got hurt. Dez Bryant gave boy elbow sleeve, team gave ball
Nice job by Jared Green getting feet down on TD throw from Orton
Murray good run. Sean Lee exhorts teammates to pick up.

Bryan Broaddus ‏@BryanBroaddus 1h
As much as you want to pull for McSurdy, he just isn't as athletic as the other MIkes in this scheme coverage wise. Takes time to get going

Tim MacMahon ‏@espn_macmahon 1h
Mo Claiborne shows great closing speed, knocking down a pass intended for Dwayne Harris on a deep crossing route.
WR Tim Benford, a practice squad guy last year, is tearing it up in 2-on-2s. Has a few catches, including two against Brandon Carr.
Brandon Carr is struggling against bunch formations. Not able to do what he does best: Get his hands on receivers.
Dat Nguyen, who is calling out plays based on just seeing formations, says Sean Lee has much better football IQ than him. High praise.
DT Nick Hayden is getting first-team reps over Sean Lissemore.

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 20m
Nice grab by Dunbar in red zone. He could win backup job. Looked good.

Rowan Kavner ‏@KavnerDC 17m
A lot of wins for the defense here in passing red zone drills

Fake field goals are fun! (when they work) #Cowboys

Nice throw by Romo on back shoulder seam throw to Austin for TD while covered by Sean Lee
Dez Bryant just gave fan his shoes. Practice needs to end soon. He might run out of clothes

Benton misses left. Scandrick would have blocked it from left end. Day off for Bailey's leg.
Romo offense can't beat the play clock. Third and goal at the 4. Garrett disappointed face.
Getting a little bit dark. But Ernie Sims, JJ Wilcox finding people to hit. Sims visible today.
Orton offense can't score in its two-minute. No running room. Orton misses Andre Smith on third-down out.
Stephens offense can't score either. Guards pushed around. Pressure from Scheffield at left end. Benton misses again.
Nothing for the Tanney offense. Wilber ripped it up.
Practice over. Romo offense productive in two-minute. Moved the ball in chunks. Only hiccup was play clock at goal line. Scored next play.

Tom Orsborn ‏@tom_orsborn 15m
It's late in practice and Wilcox is still looking for people to hit. "Can't wait to see him against another team," Claiborne said Friday.

Bryan Broaddus ‏@BryanBroaddus 1m
1st offense gets the first down that twos couldn't get. Ball on the four and Romo has to burn TO. Next plays rips it inside to Austin for 6
Dan Bailey has nothing to worry about in his job. Benton has been awful. Last one wasn't even close.
Wilber beats Weems off the edge to gain a sack and end the practice as darkness sets in.

--------------------------------------------------------
out of order practice tweets

#Cowboys DL Ben Bass is out after spraining his left ankle yesterday. Garrett was uncertain at noon if he'd practice.

Calvin Watkins ‏@calvinwatkins 1h
Travis Frederick getting snaps at RG with Phil Costa at C with 2-team.
Terrance Williams runs wrong route again.
Cole Beasley and Dez Bryant are out today. Bryant with a hit and Beasley's left knee is nicked up.

Clarence Hill ‏@clarencehilljr 2h
its a veterans rest day for defensive end demarcus ware

Brandon George ‏@dmn_george 2h
Cowboys plan to practice tonight until 9:32 CT. First late practice of training camp.

Charean Williams ‏@NFLCharean 1h
Ryan Cook is not practicing.

Tim MacMahon ‏@espn_macmahon 2h
Dwayne Harris has a chance to catch coaches' attention with Dez Bryant and Cole Beasley (knee) out.

Carlos A. Mendez ‏@calexmendez 1h
Bout to watch practice. No Dez (hip), Ware (rest) or Beasley (knee). Chance for some of these receivers down the line.
Kyle Wilber taking over at Ware's spot. Chance to work with 1s. Could use a good day. Has slid.

Bryan Broaddus ‏@BryanBroaddus 1h
Jason Garrett tells Joseph Randle that he needs to learn the art of mastering the catch. All the great ones do it. Coaching point on KOR.

Todd Archer ‏@toddarcher 1h
Rookie LB Deon Lacy started practice bad with close out on RB but ended up good with tipped pick at goal line.

How do you hit a kid in the face with a pass, and then the team doesn't even let him keep the ball? Are they using gold plated balls at Cowboys practice now?

Poor kid. They should have at least let them keep the ball. Geez.

I've read multiple reports saying that they gave the ball back to the kid. Todd Archer "Romo throw away that lands in crowd. A dad caught ball as held son but son got hurt. Dez Bryant gave boy elbow sleeve, team gave ball"

I was literally right next to the kid who got hit in the face. Romo throws ball away, dad is holding son and ball hits kid in the face. They initially wouldn't give him a ball and we started all booing, then Dez ran over and gave him his elbow sleeve.

Insult to injury. You take one in the beak you should get to keep whatever it was that nailed you.

To change the subject for a second...it sounds like Romo has really worked on the back shoulder throws that so many have called for.

Love the back shoulder fade. The Giants did it well a few years ago but seemed to stop doing it. When done properly, it's unstoppable.
