DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Dallas Cowboys COO Stephen Jones joined the K&C Masterpiece Monday afternoon on 105.3 The Fan.
Jones discussed several things, including the team's wide receivers, Xavier Woods' groin injury, CeeDee Lamb returning punts, and more.
On concerns that CeeDee Lamb would be at a greater risk of injuring himself by returning punts:
"I think it's a great opportunity for him to touch the ball. We've had some great players return punts for the Cowboys, starting with Deion Sanders. Those guys are really good at their trade. I don't think it's as dangerous as a play as the kickoff in terms of the returner.
"I think those guys see, especially the great ones like Deion and certainly CeeDee can be. They see all the traffic coming at them, they know when to fair catch it, and when to get out of bounds, and you know, when to go for it. There's been a lot of great receivers in this league get back there and field punts and do a great job doing it.
"I don't have a huge issue with it. There may be times where it's a punt safe and we put Cedrick Wilson back there, something like that. I think you've got to, this day and time in this league, if you've got dynamic players you've got to give them opportunities to make plays in the open field."
