Todd Archer / Reporter
** Light workout with players in jerseys and helmets. They were off the field in one hour, 45 minutes.
** Former Cowboys tight end Eric Bjornson (1995-99) was a visitor at the morning practice. He spent some time catching up with Wade Wilson and Jason Garrett . No truth to the rumor that Jerry Jones wanted to sign him up now because of the shortage of healthy tight ends on the roster.
** The practice dealt mostly with individual techniques to start. Running backs, wide receivers and running backs worked on ball security. The runners and receivers had to hold the football while a teammate yanked on a cord in an attempt to force a fumble. The quarterbacks worked holding the ball high and with two hands as they slide around the pocket before making a throw.
** Wide receivers coach Ray Sherman spent a lot of time working with the wide receivers on blocking in the running game. The Cowboys have some good blockers in Miles Austin , Roy Williams and Patrick Crayton and their work in the past has led to big runs. Sherman wanted to make sure the wide outs kept their vision on the safety even as they were blocking a cornerback to help create some second-level separation.
** With Martellus Bennett and Scott Sicko out with injuries, Jason Witten has to take more of the individual reps with newcomer DajLeon Farr. Usually a veteran lets the younger players take some of that work but Witten doesn't have a choice now.
** Manny Johnson, Kevin Ogletree and Teddy Williams worked as kick returners during the special teams' portion of practice. David Buehler and Mat McBriar did not do any live kicking as the unit went through coverage and return responsibilities.
