It’s hard to believe with the regular season not starting until September, but the Dallas Cowboys’ 2023 training camp in Oxnard, CA has passed it’s midway point. The club will only practice on the west coast through Thursday, August 17. Then the club departs for exhibition No. 2 in Seattle and they return to Dallas for good following that. There’s another exhibition game between then and the roster cutdowns, but as for camp, that will be it.

Thus far, a handful of offseason questions have already been answered. Tony Pollard and Terence Steele are healthy and fully immersed. The big offseason additions seem to fit perfectly as there’s no complaining about the impact of Brandin Cooks and Stephon Gilmore. Young stars Micah Parsons and CeeDee Lamb seem to be continuously ascending, which is scary considering how good they were in 2022. Quarterback Dak Prescott is back to throwing lasers and while the West Coast offense is here, he’s actually keyed in on throwing deep and taking the top off defenses.

But what about the remaining question marks? This isn’t a perfect team; there aren’t many of those and they certainly had question marks during training camp.
