At the Dallas Cowboys training camp, it was a momentous day. Jerry Jones conducted his customary in-person interview with media from the area.
Significant news also came from the pitch, where a vital player was injured.
For over thirty years, Jones has had the biggest influence on DFW sports, whether you love him or not. And he’s not slowing down at the age of 81.
According to Jones, the idea of retiring in any way never occurred to him. The prospect of a new season excites him beyond measure.
However, not everyone in his fan base is as thrilled.
It has taken the Cowboys team 28 years to reach the conference title game.
Following the disastrous playoff run the previous year, Jones is currently battling contract concerns.
Dak Prescott, the quarterback, is in the last year of his contract; no news of a new agreement has been released.
CeeDee Lamb, a wide receiver, is still refusing to play. However, Jones expressed confidence in Lamb’s decision to sign an extension.
Meanwhile, on Sunday the Cowboys suffered their first major injury of the training camp.
Sam Williams, an edge rusher, was knocked down in a non-contact practice.
He is out for the year because of a torn ACL in his left knee, according to reports.
This is a tragic turn of events for the young, talented player.
In his third NFL season, Williams was hoping for even more opportunities to make an impact.
