Cowboy Roundup: 5 players to watch on Hard Knocks, Javonte Williams' role

Happy Thursday, Dallas Cowboys Nation. OTAs are underway as we approach the final week of the month, which means mandatory minicamp is right around the corner.

That also means the pressure will be amplifying for the Cowboys to work out a contract extension with superstar Micah Parsons.

Last season, we saw the team wait until minute to strike deals with CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott, so the team should avoid that distraction as they try to change the culture in the building.

While we wait to see what the rest of the week will bring, let's check out some of the headlines making waves around the web and on social media.
