Which Dallas Cowboys are fighting for starting jobs, and where are the best training camp battles to watch…
Training camp for the Dallas Cowboys is finally upon us and Cowboys Nation couldn’t be more excited. The defending NFC East champs look to pick up right where they left off last season, and that all starts at training camp.

The Dallas Cowboys will use training camp to decide the winners in multiple positional battles this year. Up for grabs are starting spots, backup spots, and special teams roles. Here are the Dallas Cowboys five biggest training camp battles this year
