Blogging The Boys
After dropping their preseason opener to the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday night, the Dallas Cowboys were back in action Tuesday afternoon, conducting their 14th training camp practice. With just two practices left before the team breaks camp on Thursday, these two days may be the best chance for players on the bubble of making the roster to prove why they should make the final 53.
These final practices aren’t just a chance for players on the outside looking in to make an impact, they are also a chance for Dallas’ stars to start locking in and get regular-season ready. In Tuesday afternoon’s practice, Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott looked every bit ready for Dallas’ matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles on September 4th, earning him today’s Star of the Day.
Prescott started off practice with an extremely impressive, cross-body completion to KaVontae Turpin.
Prescott followed that up by dropping some dimes to his top wideouts, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens, showing some impressive ability to manipulate the pocket and make on-target throws.
It can’t be overstated just how important Prescott’s individual performance and overall health will be to this Cowboys team. If Dallas wants any shot at returning to the postseason this year, they’ll need him to stay on the field and perform at the high level he is capable of.
Even in a semi-new offense, Prescott has looked very comfortable to this point of training camp. If Dallas’ signal-caller can carry this level of performance into the regular season, the Cowboys will be in a good spot to make a postseason return.
