Cowboys coach Jason Garrett was a guest on PFT Live on Monday, where he talked to ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio about some Cowboys-related items. Most notably, the first-year Cowboys head coach talked about Dez Bryant and some of the attention that has surrounded the wide receiver this offseason.
On if he got the opportunity to talk to Dez Bryant during the brief period the lockout was lifted:
Garrett: "We did get a chance to see a number of players and visit with a number of them who were out of town just over the phone. So he was in that mix. He seems like he's doing better. For a lot of young guys, transitioning into the league, it's important for them to have structure. And we feel like for Dez and for other guys on our team and really throughout the NFL, the importance of having an offseason program and OTAs and all those things really help them. It helps them get acclimated to this game and this level and this lifestyle. So that's been an unfortunate byproduct of this lockout. He seems to be getting himself back in line and we can't wait to get him and the rest of the group back to work."
On last week's report that the team was supposed to meet with Bryant and it never happened:
Garrett: "I don't have all the details on that. To be honest with you, I'd rather not visit on that. We were able to make contact with him during that time and again, just reaching out and hopefully we can get this thing lifted so we can get him and the rest of this group back in action."

Tony Romo also talked about Bryant today when talking to reporters after his round of golf. He had the following to say:
"He's competitive so he wants to be involved. If he gets tight or sore he goes off to the side and jogs. But when it feels good, he moves through some drills. But we're not going to throw him into the fray yet."
