Golston (hamstring) fully participated in his first padded practice in the NFL on Friday, but he doesn't appear likely to play in a game anytime soon, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Coach Mike McCarthy said Golston is progressing well, but he thinks the Cowboys have to be "practical" with where he is at. The rookie third-round pick missed all of training camp with a hamstring injury, and he is unlikely to suit up for the second straight regular-season game.
