Byron Jones: LB Jaylon Smith 'balling out so far'

Dallas Cowboys third-year cornerback Byron Jones isn't worried about being an elder statesman on a depleted defense with low expectations.
That's mostly because he's high on a pair of players Dallas fans have yet to see on the field.
On NFL Total Access on Monday, Jones said rookie Taco Charlton and second-year linebackerJaylon Smith are way ahead of expectations. Smith, who missed all of last season while recovering from a serious knee injury he suffered at the end of his college football career, has been especially impressive.
"He's healthy, he's 100 percent," Jones said. "His mind -- he doesn't worry about what happened two years ago. He doesn't care about that. What he's trying to do, I think his motto is clear-eyed vision. He's doing well at that. He's balling out for us so far. He's learning the playbook and he looks healthy running around."
On Charlton:
"We like him. He's a big dude," Jones said. "I didn't realize he'd be that big. He's a solid guy. We're excited to have him coming off the edge. We've got some good pass rushers so far and we have good young talent as well. So we're excited about what we've got on our d-line and they'll be a good unit for us this year."
After losing Brandon Carr, Barry Church, Morris Claiborne and J.J. Wilcox this offseason, believing in the Cowboys defense this season requires some faith in players like Smith and Charlton. It's not outside the realm of possibility that a rookie defensive end could come in and cause some trouble.
But seeing Smith become the player that owner Jerry Jones promised more than a year ago would truly be stunning. There were plenty of evaluators who thought the Notre Dame standout would never be the same again. If he's managed to convince both Byron and Jerry Jones that he's 100 percent, something must be breaking right for the Cowboys.

Jerry Jones donates $1 million to Harvey relief efforts

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ It only makes sense  Dez Bryant  would be the one to  receive  news of the  Dallas Cowboys ' generous donation for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. The  Cowboys  held a Salvation Army telethon Thursday at AT&T Stadium to raise money for people affected by the hurricane, and owner Jerry Jones called in to make his donation of $1 million. The person on the other side of the phone:  Dez Bryant . "I thought I was setting Dez up, but he set me up on the conversation, which he's pretty good at doing," Jones told NFL Network's Jane Slater. "Dez likes to get involved in his own business. We've had a couple negations over the years. It was a lot of fun. I'm so rewarded to see these players that understand how they're helping people with their interest and celebrity." The  Cowboys  and the Jon...

Steelers' Martavis Bryant cleared for regular season

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store  please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ Martavis Bryant  is officially back. The  Steelers  wide receiver has been cleared for regular-season practices and games, the NFL announced Friday in a statement. Bryant was conditionally reinstated in April after missing the entire 2016 campaign for a violation of the league's policy on substances of abuse. In August, the NFL announced that the third-year pass-catcher was permitted to participate in all preseason activities, including practices and games. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported last month that Bryant was required by the league to continue attending mandatory counseling sessions in order to gain full reinstatement for the regular season. Bryant clearly checked that box, leaving Pittsburgh with full use of a player who has emerged as one of football's most dangerous red-zone weapons. As fello...

Browns release quarterback Brock Osweiler

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store  please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ It's over for  Brock Osweiler  in Cleveland. In a move that comes as little surprise, the  Browns  have released the veteran quarterback they traded for in March as part of an unusual deal with the  Texans , a source informed of the move told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Going from a featured starter during the preseason to an exiled ghost, Osweiler didn't even see the field in Cleveland's final two preseason bouts as the team explored trade options until the end. Set to make a whopping $16 million guaranteed this season, Osweiler was rough-and-tumble trade bait from the start. After all, the cap-rich  Browns  only swapped for the signal-caller and his massive salary as a way to acquire Houston's 2018 second-round draft pick -- an ultra-rare NFL deal th...
