After a surprising drop to the second team on Saturday, Cowboys guard Tyler Booker was running with the starters again on Sunday. The first-round rookie is fighting his inexperience like any new player has to, and we’re also seeing a budding partnership between Booker and one of his main roster competitors.
Booker has been given starter treatment since Dallas made him the 12th-overall pick of last April’s NFL Draft. But on Saturday, he was surprisingly working with the second-team offense. According to head coach Brian Schottenheimer, the demotion was because Booker had “hit a small rookie wall” and needed to work through it.
