Stephen Jones said fights are expected, but it doesn't mean teams and/or the league can't step in and create some consequences.

"If that were to happen in a game it would not be good news," Jones said. "There would be a lot of people sitting down and a lot of fines. Those guys are fighting hard. We've been in camp for three weeks now. Those things do happen but it's certainly something we don't want in our game."

One of the Cowboys fighting without a helmet was cornerback Tyler Patmon, who made headlines earlier in camp with his on-field fistfight with Dez Bryant. Patmon said he wasn't sure how the fights started, but knew he had to get in there.

"I'm not sure what started any of that. I just know at the end of the day we're going to have each other's back," Patmon said. "Whenever something like that happens we have to be there for our teammates. All you're thinking about is having your teammates' back, and that's all that matters."

Quick Hits:

The Rams decided to cancel their Wednesday practice in Oxnard, while the Cowboys will have a day off. The decision was made before Tuesday's practice.

One guy who made sure not to participate in the fight was defensive end Greg Hardy, who has made headlines for the wrong reasons this past year. Hardy made a point to run away from the fracas with a smile on his face.

Linebacker Sean Lee missed his second practice in three days but the Cowboys are far from concerned. "No setbacks," Stephen Jones said. "Everything's just management with most of these guys."

Academy-award winner Jamie Foxx was one of many celebrities in attendance Tuesday, along with Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson, former Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda and Modern Family co-star Ty Burrell.

Notable Standouts

Terrance Williams – Williams clearly answered the call on Dez Bryant's challenge to play with more intensity. As the Cowboys' top wide out, he enjoyed a strong day of practice with several key catches. It began in one-on-ones, when he skied over Trumaine Johnson for a contested touchdown on a fade route. He also added a touchdown on a shallow post in full-team work. But the highlight of his day came in the team run period, when Tony Romo hit him on a play action pass for a long gain down the middle of the field.

Darren McFadden – Tuesday was McFadden's first day mixing into 11-on-11 work, and he looked impressive doing it. The veteran looked decisive hitting holes for solid pickups, and he managed to make solid yardage even in a practice without live hitting. He also showcased his value as a receiver, as Romo found him several times. On a 3rd-and-Goal from the 12, Romo found him in the flat, and he took the ball down to the one-yard line.

Tyler Patmon – Before he got involved in the fight that ended practice, Patmon had a strong day in the Dallas secondary. He fended off St. Louis in one-on-one drills. Moreso than that, he came up with a big win for the Cowboys defense when he intercepted Nick Foles in full-team drills against the St. Louis offense.

Play of the Day

The most impressive play of the day had to be Williams' diving catch from Romo. But if there was one play that told the story of Tuesday's practice, it was Darren McFadden's goal line touchdown against the Rams. Why was it so important? Because the Cowboys' first-team offense lined up against St. Louis linebacker James Laurinaitis – and no one else. Right before the ball was snapped, the first of several fights broke out on the opposite field, and 10 of 11 Rams defenders raced off to join the fray. With only Laurinaitis to man the defense, McFadden walked in for an easy touchdown.
