Cowboys at Camp: Day 1, PM

August 13th, 2008 - 6:47pm by Adam ZinserOther posts by Adam Zinser

The Broncos and Cowboys got back to it this afternoon, kicking off the second practice at around 4:30. At an hour and a half long, the afternoon session was a little shorter than the morning one, and after individual team drills, the two teams came together for two 11-on-11 periods with a special teams segment wedged in between.

ATTENDANCE REPORT: In addition to the players out of pads during the morning session, a number of Broncos veterans got their normal afternoon off. Ebenezer Ekuban, Darrell Jackson, Dewayne Robertson, Brandon Stokley and Casey Wiegmann joined their injured teammates on the sidelines.

POSTURING FOR POSITION: The lineups were the same for the most part, but with both Nalen and Wiegmann out, P.J. Alexander and Kory Lichtensteiger rotated at the center position. Kenny Peterson worked with the starting defense in the place of Robertson.

MATCHUPS: As with this morning, each field had a different set of drills, so we combined “Focal Points” and “Key Plays” into one category. Here is the breakdown of how each competition went down.

A.M. Blog: Day 16

August 12th, 2008 - 11:18am by Adam ZinserOther posts by Adam Zinser

It’s less than 24 hours until the Broncos host the Cowboys for a couple days of joint practices, and the team held a two hour practice without pads Tuesday morning, the last day for fans to watch training camp.

As has often been the case, things got started with a laugh as D.J. Williams called up coach and former Bronco Keith Burns to lead the team’s breakdown.

ATTENDANCE REPORT: Hamza Abdullah, Boss and Champ Bailey, Louis Green, Peyton Hillis, Tom Nalen, Erik Pears and Ryan Torain were all listed on the out of pads list with their various injuries. Hillis did participate in practice, however. Champ, Green, Nalen and Pears all watched from the sidelines. Boss remained inside rehabbing his sprained ankle.

- Chad Mustard has been moved from the Physically Unable to Perform list to the active roster.

- New cornerback Wale Dada participated in practice after the team waived Lamont Reid. The previous blog entry gives a little more information on the newest member of the Broncos.

Team Adds Dada

A new face hit the practice field at Dove Valley Tuesday morning. Cornerback Wale (wah-LEE) Dada, was signed to a undisclosed deal. He takes the roster spot of Lamont Reid, who was waived.

Dada is a first-year player who joins the Broncos after he was waived by New Orleans on Saturday. He entered the league in 2006 with the New York Jets as a college free agent from Washington State University and has seen time on the rosters of the Jets (2006), Seahawks (2007-08) and Saints (2008) during his NFL career.

Dada has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game but spent the final month of the 2007 season on the Seahawks’ practice squad.

He will wear number 31.
