The Dallas Cowboys return to Oxnard, CA, for training camp next month (July 28). <\/p>\n
They’ll spend two weeks there before joining the Los Angeles Rams for joint practice on August 11; the New Orleans Saints will join the Cowboys in Oxnard for another joint practice the following week (Aug. 18).<\/p>\n
The Cowboys previously hosted the Rams last year. <\/p>\n
The Rams have proverbially won the offseason, with trades for Arlington’s Myles Garrett, who is coming off an award-winning and record-setting season<\/a> with the Cleveland Browns, and Trent McDuffie, who won two Super Bowls<\/a> with the Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n The Rams are also led by Highland Park’s Matthew Stafford, the reigning league MVP.<\/p>\n This is Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s second season at the helm; the Cowboys finished 7-9-1 and fielded one of the worst defenses in team history. The Cowboys also made key additions to the defense with new coordinator Christian Parker joining from Philadelphia and two first-round picks, Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence.<\/p>\n The Cowboys wrapped up Mandatory Minicamp last week. George Pickens attended after signing the franchise tag and pledging not to hold out this season despite not having a long-term deal.<\/p>\n “It’s a little harder to carry the pads later into the season,” Schottenheimer said. “I do think, talking with our sports science people, there’s a different way to really build some calluses during training camp. And then when the season starts, we’re going to have a hard type of week, a medium type of week, and a light type of week. I think that’s all the stuff that I’ve learned, and am using the people who are experts more than me on how the body works and how the body recovers.”<\/p>\n The New Orleans Saints are led by former Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who went 6-11 in his first year as head coach.The Saints also drafted Allen High School grad Jordyn Tyson in the first round.<\/p>\n The Cowboys’ full daily training camp schedule will be released later this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Dallas Cowboys return to Oxnard, CA, for training camp next month (July 28).
