Practice Update: Scandrick Returns To Practice; 3 Other Defenders Sit Out

FRISCO, Texas – One cornerback returned, but the Cowboys were still without two others on Thursday morning.

The team held its first practice of game week on Thursday, as the schedule has been slightly altered since Week 3 is a Monday night game. As expected, Orlando Scandrick was on the field and participating in the open portion of practice.

Chidobe Awuzie was present at practice, but he was not participating with the rest of his teammates. The rookie was doing rehab work on the hamstring he aggravated in Sunday’s loss to Denver.

“Don’t know how much Chido will do,” said Cowboys coach Jason Garrett on Thursday morning.

Nolan Carroll was also absent from practice, as he continues to recover from the concussion he suffered against the Broncos. Scandrick’s return to the field gives the Cowboys four healthy corners, along with Anthony Brown, Jourdan Lewis and Bene’ Benwikere. But it’s still a somewhat thin position as practices get underway.

Elsewhere, Stephen Paea was absent from Thursday’s practice. He, Carroll and Awuzie were the only three players on the roster to not take part in the open portion.

In a surprising turn, Anthony Hitchens was present at practice. The veteran linebacker was wearing his helmet and jersey and going through rehab work on the sidelines. It won’t count toward participation in practice, but it was certainly an encouraging sign, given that his knee injury occurred less than a month ago.

Could Chidobe Awuzie & Jourdan Lewis be Cowboys Starting CBs in 2020?

Could Chidobe Awuzie & Jourdan Lewis be Cowboys Starting CBs in 2020?

If the Dallas Cowboys allow top Cornerback Byron Jones and backup Anthony Brown to depart this offseason as free agents, it would leave Chidobe Awuzie and Jourdan Lewis as the only legitimate starting options for 2020. While a new corner would likely be added this offseason, how would Dallas fare with Awuzie and Lewis taking over as the new top two?

Second and third-round picks in 2017, Chido and…

Cowboys rookies are nicknamed Taco and Cheeto, and this is not a drill

A combination like no other.

The 2017 NFL Draft continued on Friday night, with the second round getting started in Philadelphia. The Dallas Cowboys, picking 28th and 60th in the first and second rounds, selected defensive lineman Taco Charlton and corner back Chidobe Awuzie, whose nickname is “Cheeto.” Yes, you’re reading that right — Dallas’ two rookies are nicknamed Taco and Cheeto, folks.

Chidobe Awuzie's nickname is Cheeto. He now joins Taco as the newest Cowboy rookies. #CowboysDraft http://pic.twitter.com/bqEb4mVhId

Taco’s real first name is actually Vidauntae. He’s recently come around to actually liking tacos. As a child, he resisted the food associated with the nickname.

He got the nickname, "Taco," as a young kid. And because all his friends thought that meant he loved tacos, he resisted, as kids do, and decided he wouldn't like tacos.

His attitude changed in college.

"Now, I love tacos all the time," Michigan senior defensive end Taco Charlton said Sunday. "Whether it's Taco Bell or I go make my own tacos or whatever."

Apparently his mother and grandmother thought that "Taco" was a good fit for him.

As far as Awuzie’s nickname goes, further research suggests that Awuzie’s nickname is actually “Chido” — but that’s OK, because Cheeto sounds exactly like Chido, and Cheetos and Tacos are delicious. In an interview with The Denver Post, fellow Colorado defensive back Tedric Thompson referred to his former teammate by Chido.

“My mom and grandma always told me that there’s going to be some people who are brought in your life for a reason,” said Thompson, a ball-hawking free safety. “I remember meeting Chido in 2013 and that’s been one of my best friends ever since, and Ahkello came a year later. We gel together so much.”

I really want some tacos and cheetos now, thanks, Cowboys.

Chidoe Awuzie feels he and Eagles go hand in glove

Colorado was home to one of the top secondaries in the Nation last year. Three of their defensive backs will be taken in the 2017 NFL Draft.

The Philadelphia Eagles have shown interest in Ahkello Witherspoon and Chidobe Awuzie during the draft process. Awuzie said he grew up an Eagles fan mostly because of Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, and mainly Brian Dawkins.
