Jerry Jones 'misses' Ceedee Lamb, Why haven't the Cowboys re-signed him? | First Things First

Dallas Cowboys Owner Jerry Jones said that "no one appreciates CeeDee Lamb more than I do", despite not resigning him to a new contract. Nick Wright says this is a very confusing saga for the Cowboys.

Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Albert Huggins got his hands dirty during a joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams on Wednesday. 

Huggins, a 6-foot-3, 301-lb NFL veteran, was seen knocking down a smaller member of the Rams' staff to the ground during a drill between the Dallas D-line and LA's O-line. After getting around Rams guard Grant Miller, Huggins just kept charging forward and then kept going after the whistle was blown, and extended his arms to push the equipment intern to the ground before turning around and getting back to his huddle.

The equipment intern was reportedly standing there to represent a quarterback in the pocket for the sake of the drill, but he started backing out of the play when Huggins started charging through. Huggins, who doesn't have a career sack in the NFL, caught up to the staffer to knock him down anyway. 

Rams players and head coach responded by running up to Huggins and other Cowboys players and engaging in loud and hostile exchanges. But the altercation never quite escalated to being physical. 

After the play, the intern reportedly got back into position to represent the quarterback again.
