Dez to be the punt returner Sunday
Dez Bryant will get the first crack as the team’s punt returner, and Felix Jones is expected to receive the first kickoff of the season, a source said.
Bryant, who did not play in the preseason because of a high-ankle sprain, scored three touchdowns on 22 punt returns at Oklahoma State and averaged 19.6 yards a return. The Cowboys also have had Akwasi Owusu-Ansah and Terence Newman working as punt returners. Patrick Crayton was the team’s primary punt returner last season, averaging 12.1 yards on 36 punt returns while scoring twice.
Jones led the team with 30 kickoff returns last season, posting a 22.6 average. He had a long return of 41 yards. Bryant, Owusu-Ansah and Kevin Ogletree also have worked as kickoff returners.
