Cowboys news: Updates from the Tuesday Dallas open practice
Here are some of the big takeaways from Tuesday nights practice at The Star.3 the Hard Way: George Pickens is not of this planet, it seems. Youre hard-pressed to escape a practice wherein he doesnt generate a highlight of some sort, and the Cowboys return to Frisco was no different. Dak Prescott dropped back and unleashed a bullseye of a throw downfield that Pickens brought down over his shoulder, and the defender, at the sideline while keeping both feet inbounds with a falling toe tap.

There wasn’t too much action on the first day, but there was enough to discern some marginal movements in player stocks. Stock upDak PrescottGuess who’s back, back again? Dak Prescott is back, and while Schottenheimer said that the quarterback will be limited in how much work he gets while recovering from a partial hamstring avulsion, he did just enough to remind people who he is. Prescott had several beautiful throws that were typical for how he fits passes into tight windows, and he even showed off some plus mobility. Given how poor he was playing...
