Opening up with a loss in Mike McCarthy's debut as coach made the Cowboys, “eager,” to get back to practice to focus on Atlanta, their Week 2 foe, according to wide receiver Michael Gallup. “Losing, especially your first game because that's a lot of momentum to have going into the season, everybody wants to get back to work and flush it out,” he said. “Everybody is hungry, ready to go for this week."
Ezekiel Elliott's family usually makes it to AT&T Stadium for games, sitting in a field-level suite in the end zone. Not so this year but it cost the running back some money anyway. “It's going to kind of suck. Me and my mom, we had a trade off. I told her that she couldn't come down this year, so I finished her basement and got her a nice TV and couches so she has somewhere nice to watch the games."
Randy Gregory, who is on the Commissioner's Exempt list, was working through resistance training during the open portion of practice to the media. He has been conditionally reinstated but will not play until Oct. 25 at the earliest. Cornerback Jourdan Lewis (ankle) took part in the early portion of practice.
Jerry Jones has declined to give a specific attendance figure for games at AT&T Stadium, but Mike McCarthy said the expectation is 25 percent capacity. If that's the case, then somewhere around 20,000 fans will be in attendance Sunday against Atlanta. Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium had the most fans in Week 1 with 15,895.
