| amassed two tackles in limited duty, but safety Kam Chancellor had to clean up one early rushing play, because while Curry stood up running back Mike Tolbert, he didn't wrap up and complete the stop. Norton, who played 13 years in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, went to three Pro Bowls as a linebacker. He immediately saw that Curry had all the gifts any linebacker could want; the key was channeling all that athleticism. That was what he tried to impart the first time he met Curry.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Victor Butler was easy to spot in the Dallas Cowboys' preseason opener. Wherever Tim Tebow went, Butler followed. Butler wasn't a ``spy'' assigned to stalk Tebow. It just seemed that way, a strong indication the third-year outside linebacker is ready to break free from his role as understudy to DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer. It's also further proof why many feel Butler could be the Cowboys player who benefits most from the arrival of new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan and hi |

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Dwayne Harris' head was spinning. Giddy just to be playing his first game for the Dallas Cowboys, the rookie receiver was learning on the fly, too. Coach Jason Garrett had just pointed out a mistake Harris made running with the ball after his last catch, and now quarterback Stephen McGee was telling him to be ready for a blitz. Harris saw it and caught a short pass in the middle of the field. He followed Garrett's advice all the way to the end zone for a 76-yard touchdown. A |

Raise your hand if you foresaw the Tampa Bay Buccaneers winning four more games than the Dallas Cowboys in 2010 last August. With that premise in mind, it may be best not to get too sucked in over the incessant buildup of the Philadelphia Eagles, this season's designated trendy choice to achieve Super Bowl glory, even as difficult as may be to downpla |

Dez Bryant, Jason Witten and running back Lonyae Miller caught the scoring passes. In red-zone scenarios, starting three drives at the 25, Romo led the team to a field goal and two touchdowns.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Safety Abram Elam is new to the Dallas Cowboys but is already helping his teammates learn the defense being installed by Rob Ryan. When the defense lined up for one of its first drills during Friday's second session, Elam was in the center of the formation. He was pointing things out to his teammates while they got set. Elam didn't take part in an earlier walkthrough but was at practice in pads after signing his $2.5 million, one-year deal. He is the only member of the Cowboys who ha |

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo finally had two of his primary protectors in front of him again Thursday night. Re-signed offensive linemen Doug Free and Kyle Kosier took part in the team's rescheduled practice only hours after NFL players ratified the collective bargaining agreement. All players with new contracts since July 26 were able to practice for the first time. In anticipation of the ratification, coach Jason Garrett had pushed back the start of Thursday's second sessio |

Some teams moved their Thursday practices back to allow those players to participate. Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said the NFL sent out a note saying it was "probably in the best interest of all of the teams to try to push practice back as much as they can in hopes of getting those players to practice."

| San Antonio, TX (MySportsbook) - The Dallas Cowboys have reportedly agreed to terms with safety Abram Elam. The Cowboys' website said the deal is likely similar to the one-year, $2.5 million contract that safety Gerald Sensabaugh agreed to earlier this week. Elam spent the past two years in Cleveland, playing under current Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. He had two interceptions, two forced fumbles and 79 tackles in 2010.
