Cowboys increase conditioning, padded practices, and practice length at camp
Дата публикации: 05-08-2026 07:35:21
The Dallas Cowboys started padded practices at training camp this week. The Cowboys’ offense is still rolling from the momentum of last season, returning all 11 starters with the news that Tyler Guyton will start at left tackle.
The mantra on offense at camp has been GOTI: Greatest Offense There Is.
Quarterback Dak Prescott is credited with coming up with it, and slot receiver Ryan Flournoy is already a believer.
“I definitely embraced it when he said cause I believe it,” Flournoy said. “When y’all see me score a touchdown, I do a little dance. It’s GOTI, GOTI. He likes to party. So that’s something, you know, I embrace for sure.”
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer wants the team to stay healthy for the long season ahead, so they made some noticeable differences for camp. The Cowboys are doing more on-field conditioning, they added more padded practices and they’re practicing longer than 2025. Schottenheimer hopes the focus on physicality makes a big difference.
Everything is earned. I really think that all 31 other teams are doing what we’re doing. Head coaches are standing up here. They’re call making predictions. They’re talking about their first roster, how good it is. The players are training and getting ready to go out to have practice and all that stuff. And we talked about what makes us different. And, hopefully it’s the consistency that we work at, you know, and we’re not going to have perfect days all the time. But I think if you’re consistently consistent throughout the course of training camp and you have a lot more good days and bad days or five, 6 or 7 good days in a row and maybe have an off day, and then we have to be willing to do things that maybe other teams don’t want to,” Schottenheimer said.
Teams are only allowed 16 padded practices per training camp according to league rules.
The offense is pushing the new look defense, led by coordinator Christian Parker from the Philadelphia Eagles, and two first-round picks, Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence. Parker has never called plays before, but he’s been a successful assistant in Denver and Philadelphia.
2025 third-round draft pick Shavon Revel, who reportedly dominated at practice Monday according to the team website, believes going up against receivers like CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Ryan Flournoy will get him ready to go once the NFL season begins.
“Going against them boys, competing against them boys every day, even our backups, you know, Flournoy, they just sharpen my skills each and every day. And I go back and watch film, see what I need to do, see how Go, they go, move, and fix it in practice. But them boys man, y’all know, you’ll see, that’s just who they is,” Revel said.
The first preseason game is Saturday.
The Cowboys are holding joint practices with the Los Angeles Rams the following week, then with the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are the final preseason game on Aug. 28.
The Cowboys previously hosted the Rams for joint practices last year. The Rams have proverbially won the offseason, with trades for Arlington’s Myles Garrett, who is coming off an award-winning and record-setting season with the Cleveland Browns, and Trent McDuffie, who won two Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Rams are also led by Highland Park’s Matthew Stafford, the reigning league MVP.
The Saints are led by former Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who went 6-11 in his first year as head coach. The Saints also drafted Allen High School grad Jordyn Tyson in the first round.
The Cowboys also play the Seattle Seahawks, fresh off their Super Bowl championship, on the road Saturday, Aug. 15, before traveling to Arizona for a game against the Cardinals the following Saturday. The Cowboys will return to North Texas after the Cardinals game.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer talked about that balance while trying to get his team ready to go.
“Today is just one step and again these guys put these pads on they don’t think twice about it and they’ve been doing this since they were five years old six years old you know they look forward to it and it’ll be our our job to like I said make sure they’re playing to the edge without going over the edge,” Schottenheimer said.
The Cowboys finished 7-9-1 last season. They have not made the playoffs since 2023.
