OXNARD, Calif. \u2013 Dallas Cowboys training camp is officially underway. On Wednesday, the team held its first practice since arriving in Oxnard.<\/p>\n
Practice started at 11:45 a.m. PST and lasted 90 minutes. The skies were partly cloudy, the music was loud, and both players and fans were excited for the day.<\/p>\n
Following practice, select players met with the media, including safety Jalen Thompson. On April 29, he signed a three-year contract with the Cowboys.<\/p>\n
When the team reported to Oxnard on Sunday, quarterback Dak Prescott was wearing a Cowboys Super Bowl XXX championship shirt \u2014 a nod to the last time the franchise won it all.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s big time,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cWhen a leader is wearing that and showing that message to the team, guys follow. So, it\u2019s big time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Earlier in the offseason, Prescott said this season was Super Bowl or bust. Thompson agrees.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the standard right now \u2014 Super Bowl,\u201d Thompson told the media. \u201cWe\u2019ve been talking about it all offseason, guys have been getting together in the offseason and working out together. That\u2019s been the message: Super Bowl, Super Bowl, Super Bowl.\u201d<\/p>\n
