| If all goes well this season, Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tashard Choice's biggest contributions will come on special teams, according to the Dallas Morning News. Choice will be the No. 3 back behind Pro Bowler Marion Barber and first round pick Felix Jones. Choice is in town to provide depth and insurance. However, the odds that Barber and Jones will go through an entire season without getting nicked up are slim. It's Choice's job to be ready to produce when the Cowboys need him. |

| Rookie first-rounder Mike Jenkins is trying to fit in with Dallas, according to the AP. Jenkins said, "I’m just trying to get in and help the team the best I can. I’m trying to learn the playbook. If it’s meant for me to get on the field early, I can do that. But right now I’m just trying to get in there and learn behind the guys that they have here. Defensive backs coach Dave Campo said, "We’re going to throw him right in there and start right away coaching him. Where he finishes, time will tell. I think he’s capable of playing either corner. He just has got to fine tune a lot of stuff and we’ll just see what happens."

If he is named to two Pro Bowls or intercepts seven passes in any two of the first three seasons and participates in 65 percent of the snaps, his base salary would escalate to the 2011 franchise tender. |
