Cowboys Camp Heats Up: Four Standouts Push Forward, Three Slide Back
Two weeks into Cowboys training camp, four players are dominating (George Pickens at WR, Cobie Durant at CB, Jaishawn Barham at LB, Otito Ogbonnia at DT) while three are fading (Nate Thomas at OT, Reddy Steward at CB, Marquez Valdes-Scantling at WR). Durant has emerged as the clear CB2, Barham is making a rookie impact, Ogbonnia is making plays, and Pickens is showing elite route-running and hands. Thomas is under scrutiny by the coaching staff, with Drew Shelton pressing as a rookie challenger. Mingo and Holden are also turning heads at receiver as Valdes-Scantling slides on the roster bubble. A joint practice with the Rams and a Seahawks preseason game loom, likely clarifying roster decisions ahead of Week 3.
