Holding pattern with starters opens doors for young Cowboys

A fight broke out between the Houston Texans and Washington Redskins at a joint practice Saturday and the joint practice was canceled due to the brawl. After the practice, Bryant said it was nothing serious.

And both coaches agreed that joint workouts hold great value in helping to prepare a team for the start of the season. “But the two days that we were together there, we got a lot of situational work”. Murray had surgery to fix the break on a Monday and played in Dallas’s game the following Sunday.

“You never want to take the “Dez” out of Dez”, says Cowboys coach Jason Garrett, citing the passion and energy Dez Bryant exhibits.

In an update reported earlier on Saturday, Ken Boatright’s injury according to Dave Halprin of BloggingtheBoys.com per Boatright’s agent is expected to be ok and was kept in the hospital for precautionary reasons.

“I spoke with him late Friday afternoon”, Coughlin said.

Brandon George tweeted about the initial prognosis of the Brandon Carr injury and how the injury is similar to that of former Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray suffered in 2014. The more that I don’t have to worry about is better for me.

“The only pressure that I feel is to go out there and play football”, Claiborne said. He sounded good and sounded like he wanted to get back here.

But something happened this weekend that made my search to make sense of it all a little more clear.

The 26-year-old wide receiver signed a five-year, $70 million deal with the Cowboys in the offseason after a well-documented wait, as he and the team could not come to terms.
