OXNARD, Calif. – At long last, the Cowboys can finally practice against players that aren't on their own team.
The Los Angeles Rams will make the short drive down to Oxnard on Tuesday for a joint practice with the Cowboys ahead of their preseason opener against one another on Saturday in Inglewood.
Here's five things to keep an eye on during Tuesday's joint practice:
Brian Schottenheimer's "debut"
For the first time, Brian Schottenheimer will call plays as a head coach against an opposing defense on Tuesday. Sure, the Cowboys aren't going to dive deep into the playbook in a joint practice, but it's the first time we'll see Schottenheimer dial up offensive playcalls for the Cowboys.
Schottenheimer hasn't served as a full time play caller since 2020 when he was with the Seattle Seahawk
