News briefs: Morgan back on field after missing 15 games last season

Tall tales of Cowboys' guard
SAN ANTONIO -- Only a few days into Dallas Cowboys training camp and the stories about Leonard Davis are already piling up.

• Team owner Jerry Jones tells about watching film of a practice and noticing something strange: Every time his new right guard hit someone, their head popped up. That wasn't happening with anybody else.

• Running back Julius Jones, generously listed at 5-foot-10, is telling people that his trick for avoiding defenders this season will be running run behind No. 70: "They can't even see me."

• Strength coach Joe Juraszek is awed by the way Davis runs, saying his strides are as fluent as any skill-position player. Adds cornerback Terence Newman, a former Big 12 sprint champion: "For a guy that doggone big, he's probably the most athletic guy I've seen. He runs with skill and grace."
