Circling back to the concerns, or "focuses" as Mike McCarthy likes to call them, that faced the Cowboys when they first headed off to training camp in July, and how those look areas now.

It's not too early to look ahead for Dak Prescott, as the QB1 has already started preparing for the season opener against the New York Giants.

With DeMarvion Overshown lost for the season, an opportunity for a hybrid safety to spin down to the second level is needed, and McCarthy sees it being an answer to thin depth at linebacker.

While rookie undrafted free agent T.J. Bass has been easily one of the biggest undrafted standouts in 2023, taking advantage of learning opportunities is still at the front of his mind.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones going off script to announce DeMarcus Ware, is now also going into the Cowboys hallowed Ring of Honor this year.

Despite his arrest on Sunday, Sam Williams is still practicing with the team and owner Jerry Jones said he doesn't anticipate any changes to his playing status.

The talented rookie will speak with a Cowboys legend to help ensure his recovery and comeback are strong, and the Texas native is ready to get to work on his injured knee.

The loss of DeMarvion Overshown throws a wrench in the Cowboys' defensive plans, but not one that they don't already have an emergency plan for, and his name is Markquese Bell.

Despite DeMarvion Overshown's injury being a big hit to an already thin linebacker room, Stephen Jones said on Tuesday that the deep safety room may be able to help out.

There never is a perfect training camp. This one was is, in relation to major injuries, holdouts, logistics, travel, accommodations, food, weather, field conditions, behavior, coaching and player performances.

There were a lot of questions at the linebacker position for the Dallas Cowboys this offseason, outside of Leighton Vander Esch's new deal, but they've been answered quickly.

Things got heated in Southern California during the Cowboys final padded practice in Oxnard, and it wasn't because the sun was shining, but rather because the regular season is near.

Things got heated more than once on Wednesday, in the final padded-practice of camp. Here are some observations from the staff writers.

The overall offensive line picture still has holes, even with Zack Martin back on the practice field. Is there a reliable depth option to calm those concerns?

There were questions surrounding the holdout of Zack Martin, specifically when it would come to an end, and now that it has, there's a palpable excitement engulfing the Cowboys. 

No task is too tall for rookie offensive lineman Asim Richards, as he's welcoming as much responsibility as the staff is willing to give him in year one.

Thursday's practice was one of the longest of camp so far, giving time for plenty of standouts, including a couple of backup running backs.

Tuesday's practice in pads saw a lot of goal-line and red-zone work and while the offense has the advantage, it showed as Dak and his receivers scored often.

The first padded-practice of training camp was definitely more physical and intense, it also included another injury involving pass-rusher Sam Williams.

Jalen Tolbert, as well as a few other wide receivers had a big practice day on Thursday. That was just some of the big practice observations from camp.

The girls discuss the impact of Trevon Diggs' season-ending ACL injury, how the team bounces back without him this season, and hear from Arizona Cardinals' team reporter Dani Sureck about the team's week three matchup.

Our roundtable of local beat writers react to Trevon Diggs' season-ending injury.

The guys discuss a big injury update from Thursday's practice, depth at cornerback, and more Dallas Cowboys news.

Is there any chance this is a trap game? Nah, the Cowboys just have too much talent. But is there a risk of guys getting bored? Nah, just got to take care of business. Only thing beating this team in Arizona is the Cowboys themselves. With that said, can some players take more chances knowing their teammates have got their back?

The gang gets an inside look at the Cardinals from former Mick Shots teammate Dani Sureck, now reporter/producer for the Arizona Cardinals, more text line questions with Savanah, and looking at the Cowboys injuries, along with the Cards QB situation.

It's yet another mobile QB facing the Cowboys defense, but is it still really their weak spot?

The Dallas Cowboys prepare for week three of the season and the girls dive deep into the key matchups, players, and points to keep in mind this week. We discuss the latest injury updates and why we feel good about one player who looks to be ramping up at the right time.

Now that Trevon Diggs is lost for the rest of the season, how does that change the dynamics of the defensive secondary?

I find it odd that Michael Gallup hasn't been more a part of the offense. Could he potentially be a trade candidate? 

Should we be more worried about the wear and tear already on our offensive line starters?

Is too much being made about the Cowboys' red-zone offense? Or is this something that could be a problem going forward?

I was surprised how Mike McCarthy utilized KaVontae Turpin in the offense. I like it, but what's the thinking behind getting Turpin more involved? 

The negative that stood out to me was the passes that the tight ends failed to haul in. I know the rainy night played a part, but is this a concern at all going forward?

40-0, on the road, against a division rival … are the Cowboys really this good? Is it time to book a flight to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl?

With the Cowboys opening up the season at the rival Giants, do you think it was wise to enter the season with a "rusty" starting lineup?
