Cowboys cornerback Brandon Carr practiced in pads for the first time in training camp on Tuesday, and is ready to play in Saturday’s dress rehearsal game against the Dolphins as much as coaches will let him.
Carr missed all but a week of the team’s time in Oxnard, CA following the death of his mother and last week, the coaches eased him back into practice, keeping him out of team drills and putting through conditioning work off to the side.
“I’ll play as much in the game as they want me to and I’ll take reps in practice next week and just get ready for the home opener,” Carr said, per ESPN Dallas. “I feel like I’m in pretty good shape. I’m going tax my body this week as far as putting it on myself to get myself in condition for those four quarters and those long drives, but just whatever the coaching staff and trainers is suitable for me to go out there and do I’m all in.
“So whatever it takes for me to get myself going and whatever they believe it takes for me to get going, I’m going to do it.”
