The Cowboys went to the Mile High city last week and got some serious work in. The temperature was hot, and so were the tempers as Dallas and the Denver Broncos got into no less than five skirmishes as both sides got their first opportunity to hit players wearing different helmets since last season. This week, the Cowboys have traveled down the PCH to have joint practices with another AFC West team, the Los Angeles Chargers. The teams will tussle both on Wednesday and Thursday ahead Saturday’s preseason tilt.
Against the Broncos, the Cowboys’ offense faced Denver’s defense on one field, while they switched sides on the second field. It gives the opportunity for each level of the depth chart to get serious work in, and that is going to be great for players the team may still hold back from the second preseason action. Here’s a look at some key matchups to anticipate from the players who should be starters come September.
