Practice Points: Big day for rookies Guyton & Carson

The final session before the Cowboys’ first day off

camp took place on Sunday. There was still a lot

of intensity even though the pads were worn for

the first time on Tuesday. Observations from

practice on Sunday included the following top

points: Sam Williams went down screaming in

agony during a special teams drill that saw him

grab his left knee, and you could have heard a

pin drop inside the River Ridge Complex early on

Sunday morning. As some worry about the

worst, the medical cart pulled up and took him

off the pitch. The Cowboys “didn’t like what we

saw” on the film, according to Jerry Jones, who

stated as he left practice that Williams is headed

for an MRI injury. – (Nick Harris).

After rupturing his ACL, DeMarvion Overshown

is so eager to return to playing football at a high

level that head coach Mike McCarthy said they

had to scale him back, from special teams, to

stick to the plan for his recovery. Without

sacrificing any of his agility, he has put on some

lean muscle to strengthen his defences and amp

up his impact when he confronts someone.

Moving smoothly, Overshown is being heavily

included into the defensive reps for the first

team. (Patrik Walker) Eric Kendricks successfully

intercepted his first pass of the camp after Dak

Prescott’s throw was cut short over the middle.

Earlier in practice, when Kendricks was working

on ball drills with secondary coach Al Harris, it

instantly translated to the field during the 7-on-7

session. – (Nick Harris) Caelen Carson, a rookie

selected in the fifth round, is taking advantage of

Trevon Diggs’ absence because he is on the

team’s PUP list. The latter is having a fantastic

day so far in Oxnard; his physical playmaking

approach presents a great challenge to

opposition receivers at the line of scrimmage,

and his coverage skills are equally excellent. On

a wonderfully timed throw from Cooper Rush,

Carson pulled in a spectacular interception

downfield, rising to snatch it away at the last

second. (Patrik Walker) People, meet Tyler

Guyton. Without a doubt, there will be setbacks

as the rookie first-round selection gets used to

life in the NFL, and at left  tackle, but his

unwavering summertime work ethic is paying

off big time. He was practicing with the first team

on Day 4 of the season, but this time, rookie

Marshawn Kneeland, a second-round pick,

wasn’t lining up against him; also, these were full

team exercises rather than a walkthrough.

Guyton was pitted against Micah Parsons in a

firefight, and Guyton emerged victorious on

multiple occasions. (Patrik Walker) Tyron Billy-

Johnson, the wide receiver, had yet another

impressive game as he established himself as a

reliable option for Dak Prescott, Cooper Rush,

and Trey Lance throughout the day. Even though

Rush doesn’t usually take downfield shots, he

trusted Billy-Johnson to haul in a deep ball down

the right sideline. for a touchdown. The depth of

the wide receiver room has a lot of names, but

Billy-Johnson is stamping his early on in Oxnard.
