Nate Thomas, Asim Richards to get first shot to replace LT Tyler Guyton
Guyton started 11 games last season, and the Cowboys expect the 2024 first-round pick to build on his rookie season in 2025.
In the meantime, they need a replacement.
Executive vice president Stephen Jones said Tuesday that Nate Thomas 'probably' would start until Guyton returns.
'He's having a really good camp for us,' Jones said on 105.3, via Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com. 'He has exceeded expectations. He's serious-minded about what he's doing out there. We do feel like we have some good players there that can certainly do the job.'
Schottenheimer added Asim Richards to the competition.
'You'll see Asim Richards over there some. You'll see Hakeem [Adeniji] over there some,' Schottenheimer said, via the team website. 'We're all about creating competition. But Asim and Nate, those two guys will get the first couple cracks at it.'
The Cowboys selected Richards in the fifth round in 2023, and he made his first — and only — regular-season start in 2024. He has played 21 career games. Thomas was a seventh-round selection this year out of Louisiana.

George Pickens takes another shot at Steelers, ESPN analyst fires back
The breakup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and wide receiver George Pickens wasn't pretty. Pittsburgh gave Pickens several seasons to show he could mature and develop as a player and person but when that didn't happen, the team traded Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Since being traded, Pickens has wasted no time in taking shots at his old team. His latest diatribe was about the Cowboys and how they are known for the Super Bowl as opposed to the Steelers. A misguided take to be sure, and one that ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith couldn't let go without correcting Pickens on his mistake. Smith went after Pickens and the Cowboys, shooting down he notion that the Cowboys are somehow more synonymous with the Super Bowl than the Steelers, given that the Steelers have more Super Bowl wins. If Pickens goes out and has a huge season and the Cowboys are successful, this trade is going to look awful for the Steelers. Pittsburgh is banking on Pickens being more of the same as he has been in Pittsburgh and the team is better without him.

The ball remains in Micah Parsons's court
On Friday, Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons made it clear that he wants out. On Saturday, owner Jerry Jones called Micah's bluff. Jones brushed off the trade request as a negotiating tactic, lumping it in with the "hurt back" that has prevented Parsons from practicing. There's a difference, as we see it. The back injury keeps Parsons from risking further injury while he waits for the contract he has earned. The trade request could be very real. By calling BS on the trade demand, Jones is daring Micah to do something more. So far, Micah hasn't. He could post another message on social media. He could address reporters. He could, in theory, leave camp. For now, we know this. One, Micah said he wants a trade. Two, Jones said he doesn't believe it. If Parsons doesn't prove that he does, Jerry's interpretation could become the accepted narrative. If it hasn't already.

New York Giants training camp: Sights and sounds from Day 10
After a well-deserved day off, the New York Giants returned to the practice field on Monday at the Quest Diagnostics Training Center in East Rutherford. With the heat index climbing into the 90s and wildfire smoke filtering down from Canada, it was not the ideal outdoor environment, but the Giants persisted nonetheless. As did head coach Brian Daboll, who met with reporters in the fieldhouse before practice. Daboll said that wide receivers Darius Slayton and Beaux Collins would be limited in practice, and that there were no other injury updates to be had. Rookie running back Cam Skattebo is progressing, but there is no timetable for his return. "Getting better," Dabes said of Skattebo, adding that the MRI was encouraging. Following the birth of his second daughter, veteran offensive lineman Greg Van Roten also returned to practice. He remains in a battle for the starting right guard spot with Evan Neal. Here's a look at some of the sights and sounds from Monday's training camp session.
