FRISCO, Texas - Mike McCarthy's in-person introduction to the Dallas Cowboys rookie class has had to wait because of a back procedure performed last week.
McCarthy has been taking part in meetings virtually as the Cowboys opened the rookie camp on Thursday. The only on-field portion of the minicamp was Saturday and was only for a little more than an hour. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones briefly talked to the players before the practice began.
Special teams coordinator John Fassel brought the players together at the end of the session.
"It's easy because Mike is always so clear and, 'hey this is what we're going to do,' so we had a real vision for what we wanted to get accomplished this weekend with these guys," defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said.
