    The Cowboys experimented with Felix Jones returning punts this off-season and that experiment has been put on hold. Special teams coach Joe DeCamillis said that Patrick Crayton and Terence Newman will return punts when the Cowboys open the regular season in Tampa Bay. Jones will continue to field some punts in practice but won't be part of the game rotation but Jones will be used to return kickoffs along with Miles Austin."We've kind of ditched that a little bit because he's not comfortable catching them back there,'' DeCamillis said. "But as the season goes on, if he becomes more comfortable, we will. We're still going to work him there.''

    I think the main one will be Crayton with Newman and Jones getting some of the returns. Dallas seems to be thinking they will not be very strong on PR so they just do not want to do anything that will hurt the team. I do not know if Ogletree will take part on any returns.
