The Dallas Cowboys got the chance to see someone other than themselves in their joint practice with the Los Angeles Rams on Tuesday.

The two teams will meet on Saturday in their preseason game of the 2025 season, but there was plenty of action to take in the joint practice.

A few players had impressive days for the Cowboys, but no one stood out more than speedy receiver KaVontae Turpin, who stole the show against the Rams.

Turpin got things started early with a nice grab from backup quarterback Will Grier and showed off the athleticism as he left a few Rams defenders in the dust on his way to the end zone.

The two-time Pro Bowler also proved he has the hands and toughness to handle receptions in the middle of the field. While the Rams may not be going 100% with the physicality, Turpin made a spectacular play in the middle of the field.

Cowboys fans know who will be grabbing most of the passes thrown by Dak Prescott this season, but Turpin could easily be more than a special-teams star this season.

Hopefully, the fourth-year receiver will get some time to shine during the game with the Rams this weekend, proving he belongs in this offense.
