Felix Jones to Return Kicks; Dez Bryant to Return Punts
Blogging The Boys — Felix Jones to Return Kicks; Dez Bryant to Return Punts It looks as if Cowboys special teams coach Joe DeCamillis has his return guys set for Sunday night's game against the Redskins. Consistent with the team's depth chart, Felix Jones will remain Dallas' primary kickoff returner to start off the year. He is also still listed behind Marion Barber at tailback. Dez Bryant will be the team's first option at punt returner now that Patrick Crayton is a Charger. Akwasi Owusu-Ansah will back up both return spots.

Fort-Worth Star Telegram — By Clarence E. Hill Jr. QuarterbacksTony Romo(Backups: Jon Kitna,Stephen McGee) Romo is no longer a gunslinger with gaudy stats and a penchant for mistakes.

Dallas Cowboys September 6, 2010A look at the Cowboys' 53-man roster
Dallas Cowboys Blog | ESPN Dallas — This isn’t necessarily the Cowboys’ final 53-man roster. They still might make a transaction or two before the season opener. But here’s how the 53-man roster looks after final cuts Saturday: QUARTERBACKS (3): Tony Romo, Jon Kitna, Stephen McGee The Cowboys believe Tony Romo's poor preseason is an aberration. They're confident that Kitna is an adequate backup, especially after solid performance in his final two preseason performances.

Dallas Cowboys September 3, 2010Offense struggles early
Cowboys Blog | San Antonio Express-News — HOUSTON - The Cowboys first-team offense entered tonight's game against the Texans with only one preseason touchdown on seven possessions. Judging by the unit's early play, they could go scoreless yet again. It was three and out for Tony Romo & Co. on the game's opening possession. Marion Barber got dropped for a 3-yard loss on second down and Romo was sacked for minus 12 on third down. The possession wasted a 41-yard kickoff return by rookie Akwasi Owusu-Ansah.
