Our View:On the Cowboys first drive Tony Romo went 5-for-5 for 66 yards - 49 of them were credited to Witten.
June 23, 2008
Jason Witten is expected to see time at wide receiver if Terry Glenn does not make it back on to the field this season, according to the Star-Telegram.

Our View:Witten is a great pass-catching tight end, and broke out with 96 receptions for 1,145 yards and seven touchdowns in 2007. Patrick Crayton would take Glenn's spot as the number two receiver if Glenn doesn't return, but Crayton isn't a serious threat on the outside, and is better suited for the slot role. It makes sense for Witten to split time between WR and TE, especially with the addition of top rookie tight end Martellus Bennett.
