The Dallas Cowboys returned to the practice field on Wednesday after a much-needed day off, after two physical practices in full pads at training camp in Oxnard.
In their return to the field, the Cowboys were only in their shells, but the intensity was still there throughout the entire practice.

The final highlight of Lamb's big day is the star receiver catching a toe-tapper in the corner of the endzone from Prescott. This duo doesn't even need practice; it's like riding a bike for these two.
