Flo's knee should be major concern

The great Calvin "Lucky" Watkins reports that Flozell Adams is expected to be back for training camp after undergoing minor surgery on his right knee.

I'd be mighty concerned about my left tackle's health if I were Tony Romo. Second-year seventh-rounder Pat McQuistan has worked with the first team in Adams' absence. Rookie Doug Free is another option. The Cowboys could move Leonard "Bigg" Davis to LT (where he played in Arizona), but that's not an attractive option unless Marco Rivera's back makes a miraculous recovery to allow him to play right guard.

The Cowboys' early schedule certainly wouldn't be friendly to a raw left tackle. Dallas will see a slew of premier pass-rushers in the opening month -- the Giants' Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora, the Dolphins' Jason Taylor and Joey Porter (if he isn't suspended for punching a Bengal in the mouth in a Vegas casino), the Bears' Alex Brown and Adewale Ogunleye and the Rams' Leonard Little.

We might see Romo rolling to his right a lot if Adams' bad knee isn't fully healed.
