Cowboys owner Jerry Jones suggested that rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant's ankle injury was a result of his workload. Jones doesn't regret the comment, but said that it wasn't meant to rip the team's coaching staff. Bryant suffered a high-ankle sprain on the second-to-last play of Friday's practice and is out four to six weeks. "I'm not being critical," Jones said Saturday. "What I'm being is analytical, or trying to be analytical. "This is when you all sit down and look at everything you're doing and see if there's some things you can do to help protect your team better, especially during this time five to six weeks away from the opening game."

Cowboys rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant will miss four-to-six weeks after suffering a high ankle sprain. The time-frame means Bryant could miss the team's season opener. He suffered the injury on the second to last play of practice on Friday.

The Cowboys have signed former UTSA track star Teddy Williams to be with them in training camp. Williams hasn't played football since breaking his ankle as a senior wide receiver in high school. He signed with Dallas as a cornerback. "It's just a great feeling to be back on the field ... and to compete with the best in the world," said Williams, a four-time All-American sprinter.

Several websites, mediatakeout.com and 24hourhiphop.com have linked Dez Bryant with popular rapper Trina. "There is no truth to the rumors that Dez Bryant is dating rapper Trina," advisor David Wells said Thursday. "Dez is very much in love with long-time partner, Ilyne Nash, with whom he is looking forward to building a home."

Cowboys tight end Martellus Bennett apologized Monday after nude photos of him surfaced on the Internet. Mediatakeout.com reports that a former girlfriend of Bennett's submitted the photos of the tight end. "These pictures were taken four years ago and placed on the Internet recently without my knowledge or consent," Bennett said in a statement released by the Cowboys. "I understand that they are totally inappropriate. And for that I am sorry. I regret the embarrassment that it has caused the organization."

The Cowboys discussed rookie Dez Bryant's refusal to carry veteran Roy Williams' shoulder pads during a Monday meeting and declared it a non-issue. Bryant jogged off the field after practice, wearing his shoulder pads and carrying nobody else's. He did not speak with the media for the first time during camp. "If he doesn't want to take the pads, he doesn't have to take the pads," Williams said. "It's not a big deal. We'll just move on. "We talked about it. He wants to concentrate on football. We're going to let him concentrate on football. But, when we go out to eat, I'm gonna be a little bit more hungry and a little bit more thirsty."

Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant refuses to take part in the NFL rite of passage that says rookies will carry the pads of the team's veterans. "I'm not doing it," Bryant said. "I feel like I was drafted to play football, not carry another player's pads." "If I was a free agent, it would still be the same thing. I just feel like I'm here to play football. I'm here to try to help win a championship, not carry someone's pads. I'm saying that out of no disrespect to [anyone]." Bryant refused to carry the pads of Roy Williams specifically. "Everybody has to go through it," Williams said. "I had to go through it. No matter if you're a No. 1 pick or the 7,000th pick, you've still got to do something when you're a rookie. "I carried pads. I paid for dinners. I paid for lunches. I did everything I was supposed to do, because I didn't want to be that guy."

Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo won't make any predictions for the upcoming NFL season, but admitted that the Super Bowl is the team's goal. "I think everybody who lines up and plays this game envisions every season that they play where they'd like to be at the end of the year," Romo said. "You wouldn't be the competitor or have that attitude if you didn't think your team had a chance or individually you would have a chance to play in a Super Bowl one day. That's the way we line up every time we go out to work in the 100 degree heat. That's why we do all those things in the off-season so that one day you can play in that." Romo continually talks about the "process" and the "journey" a team or individual has to take each year to be successful. "Expectations are predominately because you've done something right at some point," Romo said, "so if they think you have a chance, then you've probably shown people that it's possible. There's a lot of work to be done and we have a long way to go, but it was a good start today. I know this, I feel like a kid who just went to summer camp when you go play basketball or football. It's all just really fun and enjoyable."

Cowboys rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant was the first player on the field Saturday as the team's training camp began. "I'm just ready to play, that's the message," Bryant said. "I'm ready to do whatever they ask me to do. I'm here to work hard, I'm here to give 100 percent, just bring my A-game." Bryant arrived on the field about 45 minutes before the team's workouts were scheduled to begin. He caught passes from an undrafted rookie quarterback.

The Cowboys have agreed to terms with second-round pick Sean Lee. Lee, an insider linebacker out of Penn State, was the final rookie unsigned by Dallas. The Cowboys open up training camp on Saturday in San Antonio.
