Cowboys training camp hotel catches fire during preseason of chaos

Dallas Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy is on the last year of his contract, and Colin Cowherd and former Cowboys HC Jimmy Johnson ask if this will impact his performance this season.

The Dallas Cowboys seemed to have multiple fires to extinguish during training camp in regard to its roster. But they had an actual fire to deal with on Tuesday. 

With just two more workouts before training camp breaks, the hotel where the Cowboys reside during training camp in Oxnard, California, had a room catch fire on Tuesday, the team announced. No one was injured. 

The fire was contained to just one room and practice activities weren’t disrupted.

It was just the latest distraction the Cowboys have faced this offseason as they go into a critical 2024 season and try to bounce back from their disastrous first-round playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers in January. 

The biggest storyline hovering over the Cowboys this offseason has been the absence of star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who still is not on the team's active roster amid a holdout for a new contract.
