7 Notes From Dallas Cowboys Day 2 of Media Availability at OTAs, a Veteran CB is STANDING OUT

Dallas Cowboys OTAs continued with Day 2 of media availability, and the practice gave us several important storylines to discuss. On this episode of the DoubleMove Podcast, we break down the latest Cowboys OTA updates, including Matt Hennessy’s neck surgery, what his absence means for the Cowboys’ backup center and interior offensive line depth, and how Dallas could adjust heading into training camp.

We also dive into Caleb Downs already being used as more than just a safety. Downs was involved with the special teams unit, catching punts and working as the personal protector, showing why the Cowboys may view him as a true Swiss Army knife on defense and special teams. His personality is also starting to show, with veterans like Dak Prescott already embracing the rookie first-round pick.

The defense had a strong day as well. Cobie Durant made the play of the day with a diving interception of Dak Prescott, while Caelen Carson and Dee Winters also got their hands on the football during 7-on-7 work. Under Christian Parker, the Cowboys defense appears to be emphasizing disguise, communication, and making plays on the ball, something Dallas badly needed after last season.

We also discuss Brian Schottenheimer’s continued praise for Jaydon Blue, the honest offseason conversation that may have helped him reset, and why the Cowboys’ backup quarterback battle between Sam Howell and Joe Milton is a real competition. Howell has starting experience, Milton has elite arm talent, and the QB2 race could become one of the most interesting Cowboys training camp battles.
