Here is what social media had to say about Thursday’s Dallas Cowboys practice

In back-to-back practices for the Dallas Cowboys things are certainly heating up in Oxnard. Wednesday’s practice ended with Brian Schottenheimer losing his patience with the on-field fighting and had the team run sprints. What did today bring? Here is a collection of highlights and key moments brought to you from social media, along with a few thoughts from fellow Blogging The Boys fans.

No Miles Sanders today at #Cowboys practice.

Expect more reps with the 1s for Jaydon Blue, who now has a big chance to make an impression.

Highlight of The Day

Johnathan Mingo makes the big catch downfield. He’s looking more impressive with each day at Oxnard.

Jonathan Mingo had that pass from Dak Prescott in the Cobra Clutch.

and that throw with Mingo’s left hand went like 60 yards, btw. #Cowboys pic.twitter.com/OBYvSVRUi4
