News: Tyler Smith misses practice, ‘Madden’ picks Prescott as MVP, good news for Gallup?

Going inside Tuesday night’s practice, roster moves, Prescott and Blockchain, predicting Micah’s sack total and more. | From @ToddBrock24f7

The Cowboys got back on the field Tuesday night, but it was finally a field in Dallas. With the first of two evening practice sessions at The Star open to fans, early reports from the press box showed one key rookie nursing a new injury, another back in action, and the team’s young receivers getting valuable reps with Dak Prescott. That comes despite the announcement that Prescott and most of the starters will not suit up versus Seattle in the preseason finale on Friday, so these practices become all the more important.

Meanwhile, penalties continue to plague the team, although one outlet says it’s not yet time to panic . Five more cuts were announced on Tuesday, and one move the club didn’t make could hint at Michael Gallup returning sooner rather than later. “Madden NFL 23” has simmed the whole season and hands Prescott some records and hardware, ESPN is projecting sack totals for Micah Parsons, and an injury to one rival’s superstar will affect an early-season matchup for the Cowboys. All that, plus Dak has a new deal to add to his portfolio, and a Hall of Famer talks about the dramatic turnaround that special teams phenom KaVontae Turpin has made in his life both on and off the field. That’s all on tap in this edition of News and Notes.
