Here we go -- the New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys are meeting up for a joint practice in sunny Southern California ahead of next week's preseason game, giving us another opportunity to see how the Saints compare to a live opponent after weeks of practicing against their teammates. We learned a lot about the Saints in their first joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars one week ago. After scrimmaging with the Cowboys, they'll meet up for one more joint practice session with the nearby Los Angeles Rams before their next preseason game at SoFi Stadium. So check this space often for sights, sounds, and highlights from the Cowboys' summer training facility. We'll be keeping up with the action here. The Saints will get to work at 4 p.m. CT. Fans file in for Saints' joint practice with Cowboys This session is open to the public (and free to attend, though on a first-come, first-served basis) and fans are already lining up to see both teams in person. Including some of them who are strongly invested in Zach Wilson challenging Spencer Rattler for the backup quarterback job.
