The Dallas Cowboys are back on the small screen and in full effect. On Tuesday night, the first episode of the 2021 version of HBO’s Hard Knocks premiered nationally, placing America’s Team back in the spotlight. The one-hour show documented the start of the team’s training camp as they prepare for a run at the playoffs. If they can make it, they’ll follow in the footsteps of last year’s Los Angeles Rams as a feature team able to overcome the perceived distractions of cameras following them everywhere and focus on the regular season ahead.
The episode started with the most obvious and noteworthy storyline, how last season effectively ended, with quarterback Dak Prescott narrating the gruesome ankle injury he suffered against New York in Week 5. He went on to talk about the fact he had to go back for a second surgery to repair the compound fracture, but how he’s completely healthy entering 2021. What else was there to take away from Episode 1? Here’s what.
