Dallas Cowboys fans got a crisp glimpse of the team’s training camp tempo in Oxnard as owner Jerry Jones praised Brian Schottenheimer’s work and veterans and youngsters pushed the competition. Nate Thomas stepping in at left tackle after Tyler Guyton’s knee injury gave the line a clearer path, while Sam Williams capped a momentum-filled practice with a pick-six off a Dak Prescott pass that underscored the defense’s physicality.

Injury depth and cornerback depth dominated the chatter, with Trevon Diggs sidelined and the unit shorthanded, though Jones projected a September return for Diggs. Micah Parsons offered little on trade talk as the hold-in persists, and Prescott’s leadership was highlighted alongside continued coaching nuance. Brandon Aubrey connected on five of six field goals in windy conditions, adding another layer to a camp that will finish with a Saturday night tune-up against Baltimore and a final walkthrough the next day.
