DMN Blog: Players return to practice
Hatcher's back
DE Jason Hatcher, whose hamstring pull got Jerry all mad at Brian Stewart, has returned to practice. Hatcher had a great first week of camp and completes what could be a very good four-man rotation at DE with Chris Canty, Marcus Spears and Jay Ratliff. Hatcher (6-6, 298) is also big enough to be a force as an inside pass rusher when the Cowboys use a four-man front.

Fasano on the practice field
TE Anthony Fasano is practicing today, so the injury to his right shoulder isn't too serious.
A lot of folks figured Fasano's role would diminish with when TE lover Bill Parcells retired. That's not the case, however. The Cowboys still plan to use the two-tight end package often. Fasano, who came out of Notre Dame as a good receiver, has developed nicely as a blocker. The Cowboys hope he can handle blocking duties at the traditional TE spot, which would allow coaches to create mismatches by moving Jason Witten around. "If he's able to do that, that gives us a lot of opportunities," Witten said. "He's just got to show that he can do it on a consistent basis, not just against the 2s and 3s, but the guys you'll see in this league on a regular basis."
