Starting with today s scrimmage, the Cowboys will be traveling to El Paso, back to Wichita Falls for a Friday afternoon practice, then to Irving for Saturday night s exhibition game against the Raiders, back to Wichita Falls for a Monday practice, then out to Shreveport, La., for a Tuesday scrimmage against the New Orleans Saints.
