Hello, Oxnard. We missed you.
The Dallas Cowboys will take the field in just a few hours for their first practice of training camp. As such, it will be a limited session, but that takes absolutely nothing away from the excitement. After an offseason that's felt longer due to the lack of noise made by the front office, Cowboys football is finally back.
What exactly is Christian Parker's vision for the defense? Is the backup running back currently on the roster? Can DaRon Bland and DeMarvion Overshown rediscover their star form and be trusted as centerpieces of Parker's defense? These are just some of the most burning questions that will hopefully have answers before the end of camp.

Top lessons learned from Cowboys training camp so far
Takeaway No. 1: The Cowboys are open for business.
- In Dallas' introductory press conference, Jerry Jones revealed that he discussed a "substantive" move with another team as recently as Monday (July 27). Jones was adamant that he's willing to give up future draft picks for an impact player. A trade may not be on the horizon, but Dallas is seemingly looking to make a splash on defense.
Injury updates
If you can believe it, the Cowboys are fully healthy to start training camp. DaRon Bland (foot) and Donovan Ezeiruaku (hip) underwent surgeries this offseason and did not participate in OTAs or minicamp. They'll need a ramp-up period for the time they've missed, but they're good to go.
The Cowboys are not expected to have a player on the physically unable to perform list or the non-football injury list. That includes safety Jalen Thompson, who missed some of minicamp with a pectoral issue.

What Brian Schottenheimer is saying
Tuesday, July 28: Schottenheimer clarified that Tyler Smith will start at left guard, but will also see snaps at left tackle. The Cowboys' head coach compared it to right guard Tyler Booker taking occasional reps at center. The team has said that Nate Thomas and Drew Shelton will compete at LT, but Tyler Smith clearly is the preferred option if Tyler Guyton struggles or gets hurt.
