Tuesday’s joint practice highlights
Brian Schottenheimer indicated they aren’t concerned about QB Joe Milton (hand) and DT Mazi Smith (knee).
Smith didn’t do much today. Milton played well, hit his hand on a helmet, and the Cowboys took precaution.

Rams defense off to a fast start against the Cowboys starters. Rams have dominated in the run game so far. Only positive play has been a completion to Princeton Fant. They have multiple pressures and a sack on Dak.
