DMN Blog: Cowboys' No. 3 WR in Cleveland will be Jason Witten
by Tim MacMahon
The Cowboys will have only two wide receivers active on the season opener who have an NFL reception, but Wade Phillips didn't seem too worried.
Expect to see Jason Witten, who is coming off a 96-catch, 1,145-yard season, line up in the slot a lot against the Browns.
"Witten can be a third receiver," Phillips said. "Obviously, he's a force as a pass receiver. ... There's no reason you can't give it a Colts look where you've got witten put in the slot like they did with [Dallas] Clark."
Phillips mentioned that they can move Witten around because the other tight ends are playing well. Second-round pick Martellus Bennett should have a significant role in the season opener.
First-round RB Felix Jones is another guy the Cowboys can use in the slot.
