3 Players Who Have Gone Missing at Cowboys Training Camp

We're more than one week into the Dallas Cowboys training camp in Oxnard. The majority of the coverage surrounding the team continues to be their lingering contract "negotiations" (I use that term loosely since negotiations typically involve much more negotiating) but there's been plenty to follow.

Players such as Caelen "Seatbelt" Carson and Tyron Billy-Johnson have been standing out and making a name for themselves. We've also heard the opposite on players such as Trey Lance, who is struggling to surpass Cooper Rush as QB2 behind Dak Prescott.

Injuries have also been a story. Sam Williams was the big one as the defensive end was lost for the season but we also saw Luke Schoonmaker and Israel Mukuamu get dinged up — after they had hot starts to camp. What we haven't heard, however, is much about these three players who seem to have gone missing.

3. Eric Scott, Jr., Cornerback

Eric Scott, Jr. was a sixth-round pick in 2023, but acquiring him actually cost the Cowboys a fifth-rounder. They traded a 2024 fifth-rounder to move up for Scott, adding the Southern Miss product at No. 178 overall.

Scott spent his rookie campaign on the bench but hoped to have more life in 2024 under Mike Zimmer. That became more difficult for him when Caelen Carson fell to them in Round 5 this year. Carson, a product of Wake Forest, has been lights out during the first week of camp and has solidified himself as the fourth corner on this team.

We've also seen Israel Mukuamu, listed as a safety, continue to show his coverage skills — and he's been utilized in the slot before. Even Nahshon Wright has made headlines, although his is for the wrong reasons as he's struggled in coverage. Scott, on the other hand, has been relatively quiet and it's hard to know at this point if that's a good — or bad — thing.
