Key Points:
- After two weeks of Cowboys training camp with pads on, several position battles are beginning to take shape, with Week 3 expected to provide more clarity ahead of the preseason.
- George Pickens, Cobie Durant, Jaishawn Barham, and Otito Ogbonnia are dominating camp, showing strong performances in their respective roles and solidifying their spots on the roster.
- Nate Thomas, Reddy Steward, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are fading in camp, struggling to keep up with competition and facing increased pressure to improve or risk losing their positions.
- Barham, despite a minor groin injury, has impressed as a rookie linebacker with strong run defense, coverage awareness, and pass-rushing ability, indicating a significant role ahead.
- The Cowboys' cornerback competition is intense, with Durant leading the CB2 spot and Steward needing to elevate his play to avoid falling behind newer additions like Ameer Speed.
