The pads came on Tuesday, marking the very first, fully physical exercise of the 2024 season for the Dallas Cowboys. Mike McCarthy had his team going through the motions during the first four practices which began last week Thursday before taking Monday off; acclimating the troops to the rhythm of the regular season.
On Tuesday they got back to work wearing their shells, a key indicator that things are going to be ratcheted up a notch or two. Joining the fray is Trevon Diggs, cleared to practice in full for the first time since tearing his ACL last September. Diggs was activated from the PUP list and joined his friends in Mike Zimmer’s new-look defense that is changing up from Dan Quinn’s tenure.
Here’s a look at some of the best captures from Tuesday’s on-field work.
