It’s still just June and things are already getting heated for the Dallas Cowboys. We’ve got the latest from a steamy OTA session, including two players who had to be separated at practice, and news of one veteran who’s now lost for the season. Coach Mike McCarthy says he’s being “smart” regarding the workload with three months to go before the season opener, but one outlet reminds that he’s already fighting for his job.
Elsewhere, the coach weighs in on his missing starting tight end, and he offers guidance to a group of high school assistants on their way up the ladder. The team is nearing a reckoning- for better or worse- for the way they’ve handled their offseason business, and the stats show what fans have said all along: that the Cowboys are singularly faithful (or stubborn) when it comes to the players they pick. All that, plus the latest in the Jerry Jones paternity lawsuit, a look at how Deion Sanders is shaking up the college football landscape, and Jason Garrett is coming to Sunday nights. That’s all ahead in this edition of News and Notes.
