Updates from Cowboys training camp.
Day 2 of the Cowboys’ 2025 training camp is in the books, and it came with some concerning moments. Thankfully, one turned out to be a positive and the other doesn’t appear to have any lasting consequences.
The first worrisome jolt came when it was reported that DaRon Bland was missing from practice. Given Bland’s injury history and the current state of the cornerback position, there was a natural rush to panic among some in Cowboys Nation. But thankfully, we soon found out the joyous reason why Bland had to be away.
Bland probably had a much better day welcoming his new child than trying to cover CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. The rest of Dallas’ available corners didn’t have such luck, getting torched by the new dynamic WR duo for multiple highlight moments.
But as so often happens in football, the fun stopped fast when Pickens was lying on the ground surrounded by teammates and staff. He stayed down after getting hit by CB Andrew Booth, who was going for the breakup on an attempted sideline catch.
All reports since this have been good, with Pickens working with training staff and showing no sign of serious injury. We’ll see if he’s back to his usual workload tomorrow or if the team takes it easy with Pickens on Day 3.
