The Dallas Cowboys hold their eleventh training camp practice out in Oxnard, California. We open these discussion threads for every practice so that the Blogging The Boys community will have a place to congregate and discuss what is going on out at practice.

Editor’s Note: This post will be updated throughout practice with relevant news, information and highlights. The newest ones will be placed at the top so if you miss practice or want to see/read in chronological order make sure to scroll down to start.
