The Dallas Cowboys' training camp intensified with the first practice in pads, revealing both promising developments and concerning injuries. Tight end Brevyn Spann-Ford, a strong candidate for TE2, suffered a right ankle injury, raising concerns about a potential high ankle sprain that could sideline him. Meanwhile, Trevon Diggs is making strides toward activation from the Physically Unable to Perform list, showing he may be ready for the season. The Cowboys also announced a lucrative contract extension for Jake Ferguson, which raises questions about the future depth of the tight end position, especially for Luke Schoonmaker, who may now be at risk of being traded. The defensive backfield continues to evolve with the addition of Kaiir Elam, who is proving himself as a potential starter.
