Cowboys practice kicked off with family in the stands and players in shells—less gear, more contact—and head coach Brian Schottenheimer even joked about throwing a pass to impress his wife. But the energy lagged early, prompting Schottenheimer to yell at the team for lack of urgency—no fun when loved ones are watching. Still, the session ended with momentum: running back Phil Mafah, a seventh-round rookie from Clemson, exploded for another big gain, proving he’s healthy and ready to be the No. 2 RB. On defense, second-year corner Shavon Revel Jr. held his own against elite receivers like George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb, showing flashes of shutdown potential. These gritty matchups? Exactly what Dallas needs before their big joint practice with the Rams next Tuesday.
