Mazi Smith and Marshawn Kneeland look promising.
Good day for the defense.
Brock Hoffman was involved in an altercation of sorts. Zack Martin was apparently (?) somewhat injured, but thankfully appears to be alright.
One snap after Zack Martin is on the ground and screaming a profanity before walking off field, center Brock Hoffman involved in a skirmish with Rams defender.
Martin injury didn’t appear significant.— Ed Werder (@WerderEdESPN) August 8, 2024
I (along with @IamSTANBACK) predicted Brock Hoffman would be the one the probably start the first scuffle.
Right on cue … lol. #Cowboys

– Trevon Diggs will work only on individual drills
– Tyler Guyton will give it a go
– First-team will get a lot of burn today in place of preseason time
– Preparation started between McVay & McCarthy started in March…— Nick Harris (@NickHarrisDC) August 8, 2024
What to expect today.
Mike McCarthy said the plan for the scrimmage against the Rams today is to get quality work and there will be two special teams segments and a two minute segment toward the end. He wants to see the interior DL/OL get some work. pic.twitter.com/FYbLujxYj7
