Greetings Cowboys fans. We have reached NFL training camp time as the Dallas Cowboys are holding training camp practices out in Oxnard, California. We’ll open these threads for every practice so that the Blogging The Boys community will have a place to congregate and discuss what is going on out at practice.
Unfortunately, dropping a Twitter List into this page no longer functions the way that it used to due to changes that the platform has made. We do have a list we recommend if you want to follow it in another tab. You can access it right here.
In order to keep the flow of things as smooth as possible though we’ll be dropping in updates and news items in this thread. Give us your take on them in the comments.
Here we go.
Editor’s Note: This post will be updated throughout practice with relevant news, information and highlights. The newest ones will be placed at the top so if you miss practice or want to see/read in chronological order make sure to scroll down to start.
Injuries are the worst part of camp.

Hmm…
Brian Schottenheimer said, if he had to list a depth chart today, Jalen Tolbert would be the No. 3 WR. He added he wants competition too.

La’el Collins position update.
Brian Schottenheimer said Tyler Smith will be fine and the day off was more about maintenance. Could do more today. La’el Collins will continue to be ramped up and spend time at right tackle with some ability to move inside.

Injury update.
Brian Schottenheimer says that Tyler Smith will maybe be a bit limited today in practice, but it’s more of a maintenance deal and not anything concerning. #Cowboys

Something good in the Parsons saga.
Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said Micah Parsons has been “really good in the meetings” and “very engaged.” Similar on-field from him expected today to what we’ve been seeing pic.twitter.com/Bmx464liCo
