The Cowboys couldn’t get a deal done with Dak Prescott before the deadline for a long term extension, and that’s not ideal however there are a number of reasons to believe the future is still bright in Dallas. Prescott is still on the Cowboys with the franchise tag, and a year ago he was the king of the deep ball in the NFL. Throw in CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys air attack should be one of the tops in the league again in 2020. Connor McGovern certainly has the potential to blossom into a useful starter and fill one of the two possible holes in the offensive line. And that other guy in the backfield, Ezekiel Elliott, he’s still as elite as they come at running back.
Covid-19 has altered the offseason and the early parts of the season like we have never seen before. Roster management will be crucial for teams, and players have less practice time than ever to battle for roster positions. Will the Cowboys be able to bring in another piece to bolster their squad for the upcoming season? Plus, figure out the active Cowboys most likely to one day make the Hall of Fame, and why the Cowboys are a dark-horse candidate for a postseason run.

10 NFL players who need strong training camps to earn expanded roles in 2020 :: PFF
Trysten Hill was the Cowboys first selection in 2019. After an inadequate rookie year, the second-round pick in 2019 needs to have an excellent training camp to standout amongst the plethora of defensive tackles that Dallas brought in during the offseason.
With the NFLPA still opposed to preseason games, one possible camp schedule the union has discussed:
3 days: medical/equipment
21 days: strength & conditioning
10 days: unpadded practice
14 days: practice (10 max/8 padded)Then it’d be straight into Week 1.
