The highlights of what happened today at Cowboys practice.
The Dallas Cowboys have completed their sixth practice of 2022 training camp. Let’s check in on some of the highlights through our friends in the Cowboys media.
Th Cowboys are still trying to sort out their kicking situation. The battle is engaged, but it’s still not looking great.
The kicker battle has some competition now. Rookie Jonathan Garibay went 6-8. Made his first five attempts. Lirim Hajrullahu was 3-8. At one point he missed four consecutive kicks. Deep snapper Jake McQuaide didn’t have a good day with the snaps. A few were high and low.

Uninspiring field-goal period for Cowboys. Lirim Hajrullahu was 3-of-8 with four straight misses from 43, 48, 48 and 52. Jonathan Garibay went 6-of-8 with misses in two of final three tries (48, 52). Had chance to end on high note from 52 but missed mark. Bit of breeze in Oxnard. pic.twitter.com/ZIlF56QZmX

No more special teams for CeeDee Lamb.
More solo work on the jugs machine for CeeDee, while much of the rest of the roster works on special teams.
He’s obviously too valuable to use on special teams anymore. So this is how he maximizes his practice time, instead of waiting around. pic.twitter.com/pkz2qF94Cg

Not sure what is up with this.
After taking attendance LB Jabril Cox is not on the field. TE Jeremy Sprinkle also not on the practice fields.

Dak to Dalton is becoming very routine in these practices. This one gets a score.
Last play of the game drill.

KaVontae Turpin is getting people excited.
Man, Kavontae Turpin has got some juice. Just seems like he vanishes on would-be tacklers, sometimes. Obviously it’s still early on, and there’s not a ton of true tackling going on… but he just oozes evasiveness.

With James Washington out, Jalen Tolbert became even more important to the Cowboys offense.
Dak to Tolbert.

Micah got a little lax with the coverage.

The kicking got even worse. Time to look for a vet kicker?
It got worse. Lirim Hajrullahu given first Mojo Moment of day, attempting three straight FGs from 49, 54 and 59. He missed final two. Jonathan Garibay given same chances. He missed all three. Wind today in Oxnard maybe not doing Cowboys kickers any favors. Their tries from 59: https://t.co/Hy4i3ePJHC pic.twitter.com/hbjhsc28BW

This seems like a good play for the offense, until you see Donovan Wilson get tackled by the tight end. He would have shut this down.

Okay, Trysten. We see you.

Trysten Hill, active today, going after Dak Prescott and next play DeMarcus Lawrence almost with a sack. Prescott was incomplete on both throws.

Like this. Pollard isn’t just a change of pace or outside run guy, he can also work through the middle.

Nice combo block from Tyler Biadasz, help the guard then get to the second level.

Not even Diggs holding him can stop CeeDee.

Is Schultz just always open?

Ok Diggs, this is just not right. I mean, really?
We thought CeeDee Lamb got hurt here but Trevon Diggs punched something else. Lamb was fine. pic.twitter.com/Ea6OWrgits

Forget the pass, watch left guard Tyler Smith easily handle the stunt and peel off to get the second block.
