A minor scuffle broke out during joint practice between the Los Angeles Rams and Dallas Cowboys.
Following the fights that broke out between the Detroit Lions and New York Giants during their joint practices, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay and Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy both made it clear that they“It’s a waste of time,” McCarthy said. “I don’t want guys fighting. That’s not toughness, it’s lack of discipline. We want the work to get to that emotional edge to push each other, but you’ve got to handle those spots.
This was much better than what was seen between the Lions and Chargers, who were each fined $200,000 by the NFL for the fighting that went on. The fights even got to the point that Giants quarterback Daniel Jones got involved. Outside of the brief scuffles, both teams have been able to make plays during Thursday's practice. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford connected with wide receiver Demarcus Robinson on a touchdown, while Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott linked up with receiver Brandin Cooks on a large catch and run. Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was seen chatting with both Prescott and Cooks after practice.
On the defensive side of the ball, the pass rush was able to pressure Prescott at multiple points, though Prescott did a good job moving around the pocket and backfield.The Rams and Cowboys are getting set to face off for each team's first preseason game of the season on Aug. 11 at 1:30 p.m. PT. The two teams are not scheduled to face off during the regular season.
