The Cowboys saw several big names return to the practice field on Thursday. DeMarcus Lawrence, Michael Gallup, Dalton Schultz, Jayron Kearse, and Connor McGovern were all back at work as they get past various injuries. Rookie linebacker Damone Clark also made an appearance, signalling that he’s getting closer, too.
Meanwhile, as Washington comes to town, the Dallas defense looks to keep racking up big numbers, with Micah Parsons acting as the catalyst for most of them. The linebacker, by the way, was seen getting 1-on-1 instruction from one of the franchise’s all-time greats.
