Cowboys and Rams Conduct Joint Training

• The Cowboys addressed issues in their running attack during the joint training.
• Backup quarterback Joe Milten received a bruise, but trainers believe he is fine.
• Quarterback Turpin showed dynamism and potential in the attack.

On September 6, 2025, in Oxnard, California, the Dallas Cowboys held joint training with the Los Angeles Rams. Cowboys trainer Bryan Schottenheimer noted that the team aimed to maintain simplicity in the attack, even though the results were not the best.

During the training, the Cowboys addressed several key moments:

1. Running issues: last season the team had one of the worst results in the running attack, and this has not changed. Javonte Williams received more repetitions, but did not have enough space to maneuver.
2. Backup quarterback Joe Milten looked great at the beginning, but received a bruise, hitting the Rams' safety.
3. Quarterback KaVontae Turpin demonstrated his dynamism, continuing to open up and make successful runs in the attack.
4. Rookie George Pickens and Sidney Lamb showed potential, but still need to work on synchronization.
5. Trainer Schottenheimer returned for the first time in four years to the drills in the attack, but did not manage to implement many new ideas during practice.

At the same time, the Rams also had their own problems. Quarterback Matthew Stafford did not participate in the training due to a bruised spine, which caused a delay among the fans. Meanwhile, rookie Davante Adams signed a contract with the team and showed good play during practice.

Overall, both teams have much work to do to improve their results before the start of the season. The Cowboys hope to have a successful game with new receivers, but their game on the ground and defense needs serious improvements.
