DMN: Fasano thinks he'll be fine

TE Anthony Fasano said he expects to be on the field when the Cowboys return to practice Tuesday.

Fasano left the game after hurting his right shoulder in the second quarter. That's especially scary since that shoulder kept him from participating in minicamp.
Fasano, a second-round pick last year, had an excellent training camp. Everybody saw him catch three passes against the Colts, but the coaches have been pleased with Fasano's development as a blocker. They think he'll be able to handle blocking duties as an traditional tight end, which he couldn't last season. That will allow the Cowboys to be much more unpredictable with their two-tight end package, because it means Jason Witten or Fasano can be used as the motion guy.
