OXNARD, Calif. — America’s Team is set to begin training camp in sunny Southern California, and KENS 5 is sending a team to cover all things Dallas Cowboys this week.
Sports anchor Nate Ryan will be out in Oxnard following the developments at camp, which runs from Wednesday to August 15. There are plenty of talented players vying for a spot on the 53-man roster. One of those guys is Isaac Alarcón, who first joined the Cowboys organization in 2020. He’s trying to become the first player born and raised in Mexico to make an NFL roster.
Players reported to camp on Tuesday.
Tuesday
Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones and Head coach Mike McCarthy – taking over playcalling duties from department offensive coordinator Kellen Moore – spoke to media about the team’s offseason preparation as part of the annual State of the Cowboys presser.
Jones declined to comment on the situation involving Zack Martin – the All-Pro offensive guard who is reportedly sitting out the start of camp because he’s unhappy with his contract status – and instead expressed confidence in the makeup of his roster. McCarthy concurred, saying he’s especially pleased with the mix of younger and experienced talent.
“I’ve always felt that bridging the gap between the veteran players and the younger players is critical in your opportunity (of) building towards winning a championship,” McCarthy said. “This is such a perfect time of year for us, because this is the purest football opportunity that we’ll have as a team.”

Also on Tuesday, news broke that Dallas had agreed to terms on a new contract with one of their top defenders. Cornerback Trevon Diggs is reportedly coming back on a 5-year contract for $97 million. Diggs has picked off 17 passes in his first three NFL seasons, tied for the most interceptions by any player in that span.
Wednesday
During 7-on-7 drills, safety Donovan Wilson suffered some sort of lower-body injury and limped to the medical tent.

At a glance
The Cowboys last season won their first playoff game since 2018 – a 31-14 Wild Card victory over the Buccaneers – but haven’t reached the conference championship since winning it all in 1995.
