News: Camp dates announced, Brown and Vander Esch look to bounce back

The Cowboys are heading to Oxnard for training camp for the 15th time. Anthony Brown has found himself in a leadership role recently.

The wait is over. Where the Cowboys will hold training camp in 2021 is now official. For the 15th season but first since 2019 they will kick things off in Oxnard, California. Cornerback Anthony Brown beat the odds as a sixth-round pick in 2016. Now, entering his sixth NFL season, he’s mentoring younger players and is welcoming the competition they bring to the roster.

Leighton Vander Esch has suffered major injuries in back-to-back seasons. To combat that, he’s bulked up to take on the physicality that playing linebacker brings. The potential of Nahshon Wright playing early, the Cowboy’s plan at backup quarterback, Cedrick Wilson still being a viable option at wide receiver, and more are covered in this edition of the news and notes.
