Dallas Cowboys hold Blue White Practice at training camp in Oxnard, California
The Dallas Cowboys reached a training camp milestone when they took to the field Sunday afternoon: the first practice in pads. Until Sunday, the Cowboys had only been practicing in helmets or no pads at all.
Known as the Blue-White Practice, it takes place a day after the Cowboys hold an opening ceremony for training camp at their Oxnard, Calif., facility.
The practice gave fans their first glimpse at the team's revamped roster, which includes receiver George Pickens, a new backfield and seven new defensive players.
The next major events during training camp will be a joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday, Aug. 5, and the first preseason game, also against the Rams, on Saturday, Aug. 9.
The Cowboys will return to North Texas on Thursday, Aug. 14, to finish out training camp.
