Mike Jenkins - DB - Cowboys

ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that the Cowboys remain uninterested in trading disgruntled CB Mike Jenkins.

Adam Schefter reported Friday that the Colts were aggressively pursuing Jenkins, but they clearly haven't knocked Dallas' socks off yet. "I'm told by the Cowboys there's basically zero chance that they're gonna trade (him)," said Mort. This is somebody they wanna keep. He's very affordable." We still suspect Dallas would pull the trigger if offered a third- or fourth-round pick.

Mike Jenkins - DB - Cowboys

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Colts are actively trying to trade for Cowboys CB Mike Jenkins.

Per Schefter, Indianapolis has made "multiple trade offers," and the latest remains on the table. Though Cowboys coach Jason Garrett stated adamantly this week that Jenkins would not be traded, a league source familiar with the situation told Schefter that he believed a deal could be worked out "for the right price." It all comes down to the amount of compensation. So far, Dallas has been unwilling to accept lowball offers for the disgruntled cornerback.

Dez Bryant - WR - Cowboys

Dez Bryant revealed this week that he never felt 100 percent healthy during the 2011 season.

Bryant's early-season quadriceps injury caused him to miss one game and disappear for long stretches of others. "I don't think I was ever where I wanted to be," Bryant said. "It was just the injuries, my performance. I didn't feel like they healed quick enough." After working with strength and conditioning coach Mike Woicik this offseason, Bryant feels "stronger than ever" and more explosive coming out of his breaks. We expect double-digit touchdowns with Tony Romo's red-zone security blanket, Laurent Robinson, out of the picture.

Dan Connor - LB - Cowboys

Cowboys ILB Dan Connor's 2011 shoulder injury required offseason surgery.

Connor is fully expected to be ready for training camp, beginning July 30, after having his labrum repaired. His absence during OTAs will allow Bruce Carter to pick up valuable first-team reps, though Connor will open camp as the starter next to Sean Lee.

Abram Elam - DB - Cowboys

Free agent S Abram Elam visited the Chiefs this week.

Elam, a 47-game starter over the past three years, also visited the Titans early in the week. Elam and Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel never crossed paths in Cleveland. Crennel left a year prior to Elam's arrival.

Barry Church - DB - Cowboys

Barry Church and Brodney Pool are splitting first-team reps at strong safety during Cowboys OTAs.

Versatile Gerald Sensabaugh appears to be ticketed for free safety this season. Church is a physical in-the-box enforcer type, while Pool is more of a ballhawking option. We expect Pool to win the job and Church to be the No. 3 safety.

Bruce Carter - LB - Cowboys

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett indicated that second-year ILB Bruce Carter still has a ways to go to become a reliable football player.

"He needs to play at a higher level both in terms of his understanding of scheme but also just how you play relentless," Garrett said. "That’s how you need to play football. He’s starting to understand that. You see flashes of that." Carter, still only 23, will open the season as a backup for Sean Lee and Dan Connor.

Phillip Tanner - RB - Cowboys

Cowboys RB Phillip Tanner is fully recovered from last year's hamstring injury.

The injury ended Tanner's season in early December, but he was "quick and decisive" making cuts at Wednesday's OTA practice. Tanner will battle rookies Darrell Scott and Lance Dunbar for Dallas' third-string tailback job in camp.

Felix Jones - RB - Cowboys

Felix Jones is being limited at Cowboys OTAs due to recovery from offseason shoulder surgery.

The Cowboys expect Jones to be 100 percent by training camp. The contract-year tailback battled a right shoulder issue, a high ankle sprain, and a hamstring pull last season. He'll return as DeMarco Murray's change-of-pace back.

Mike Jenkins - DB - Cowboys

Coach Jason Garrett stated adamantly Wednesday that the Cowboys will not trade disgruntled CB Mike Jenkins.

We'll see. The Cowboys were open to doing a deal on draft weekend. They didn't get the compensation they wanted, but a cornerback-desperate team could come calling closer to or during training camp. Dallas' plan for Jenkins, for now, appears to be keeping him on the roster as a No. 4 corner despite his trade demand. In the current scenario, Jenkins would serve as depth in 2012, hit free agency in 2013, and net the Cowboys a compensatory draft pick in 2014.

Danny Coale - WR - Cowboys

Cowboys rookie WR Danny Coale will undergo surgery on Thursday to repair a broken bone in his left foot.

Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it's a broken fifth metatarsal that should keep Coale out a month. The Cowboys hope to have Coale on the field early in training camp, but the missed practice time will set the fifth-rounder back in his competition for the third receiver role. Andre Holmes, Kevin Ogletree, Dwayne Harris, and undrafted rookie Tim Benford are also vying for the job.

Kyle Orton - QB - Cowboys

NFL owners voted Tuesday to approve moving the trade deadline back two weeks.

The change will go into effect for the 2012 season, moving from Week 6 to Week 8, if the owners and NFLPA can agree on the details. The issue came under scrutiny last year when the Broncos waived Kyle Orton just after the early trade deadline, preventing the Bears from making a deal when Jay Cutler was lost for the season. The owners also approved a change to injured reserve that would allow one player to return to game action eight weeks after being placed on I.R.

Danny Coale - WR - Cowboys

Cowboys fifth-round WR Danny Coale suffered a left foot injury in Tuesday's practice.

Coale was seen leaving the team's MRI center Tuesday afternoon with crutches and a heavy wrap on his foot. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the injury is "believed to be minor as of now." Coale is expected to compete for the No. 3 receiver job this summer.

Mike Jenkins - DB - Cowboys

The Lions reportedly contemplated drafting Cowboys CB Mike Jenkins at No. 17 overall back in 2008.

Detroit considered Jenkins, OT Jeff Otah, and CB Antoine Cason before settling on Gosder Cherilus. Still in need of a veteran cornerback, the Lions could be a viable trade partner for the Cowboys as the two teams get closer to training camp. The cost wouldn't be more than a fifth-round pick.

Abram Elam - DB - Cowboys

Free agent S Abram Elam and Gibril Wilson visited the Titans on Monday.

Both are 30 years old. Elam recorded 68 tackles while starting all 16 games for the Cowboys a season ago. Wilson played just over 200 snaps for the Bengals after tearing both his ACL and MCL during the 2010 preseason. Chris Crocker and Yeremiah Bell recently visited the Titans, as well.
