The Cowboys will host the Rams for a second joint practice on Wednesday.

The Cowboys and Rams have made plans to meet for the third time in a week.

The two teams, who held a joint practice in Oxnard last Thursday and then met at SoFi Stadium for the 2024 preseason opener on Sunday, will have another tandem work session on Wednesday. The report comes from Clarence Hill Jr. of the The Fort Worth Star-Telegram newspaperciting sources.

The Rams beat the Cowboys by a score of 13-12 on a last-minute touchdown pass from Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett after the Dallas defense had intercepted Bennett four times earlier in the game.

Most of the Cowboys’ veteran players did not participate in Sunday’s exhibition game, including Dak Prescott. The quarterback participated in last Thursday’s joint practice, but then missed Friday’s regular session with what was described as “ankle soreness.” However, his absence was announced as merely a precaution, and Prescott himself said he could play in a real game if necessary.

That should put him on the practice field as scheduled this week, including Wednesday’s scrimmage with the now-very familiar Rams.

Last week’s visit managed to avoid any major fights, the kind often seen at joint NFL practices. Head coach Mike McCarthy had attempted to preemptively avoid any brawls ahead of time, and the two teams, for the most part, moved on. Center Brock Hoffman was said to have had a brief “skirmish” with several Rams defenders at one point, but nothing like the ugly brawl that caused a 2015 joint session between the two teams to be stopped early.

And it obviously wasn’t enough to stop the Rams from making plans to travel to Oxnard for a second straight week to get some more work done, even after beating the Cowboys on Sunday.

The Cowboys will travel to Las Vegas for their second preseason game, against the Raiders, on Saturday night.
