Tue, 07 May 2013 05:30:57 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten said he agreed the team needed to draft a tight end if they were going to commit to using more two-tight end sets in the passing game. He said he has no problems helping second-round pick TE Gavin Escobar adjust. "There's no ego there for me," Witten said. "It's all about winning. That's part of being a leader and a captain - is to help other guys play at a high level. There's no hard feelings from that standpoint."
Sat, 04 May 2013 11:00:19 -0700 The Dallas Cowboys plan on using more two-tight end sets this season with TEs Jason Witten and Gavin Escobar as the two tight ends.
Sat, 04 May 2013 10:21:58 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten said he believes QB Tony Romo's work ethic has been great even though owner/general manager Jerry Jones said Romo will be spending more time at the team's facility and being more involved in the offense. "I've always felt like Tony was very involved in the process of the plays and our scheme, how we attacked," Witten said. "I think in any organization where you have an elite quarterback like that, you want him to feel comfortable. I think that's something we've always tried to do, and it sounds like we're going to continue to do that."
Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:04:41 -0800 The Dallas Cowboys have restructured the contract of TE Jason Witten, according to a source. The team converted $4.56 million of Witten's $5.5 million 2013 base salary into a signing bonus to save roughly $3.65 million against the cap.
Wed, 27 Feb 2013 13:20:54 -0800 Dallas Cowboys OT Doug Free, CB Brandon Carr, DE Jason Hatcher, OG Nate Livings, QB Kyle Orton, CB Orlando Scandrick, DE DeMarcus Ware and TE Jason Witten may be candidates to restructure their contracts in order for the team to create some salary cap space.
Wed, 06 Feb 2013 13:07:25 -0800 The Dallas Cowboys could ask WR Miles Austin, TE Jason Witten, LB DeMarcus Ware and CB Brandon Carr to restructure their contracts in order to create some salary cap space.
Sun, 23 Dec 2012 22:02:41 -0800 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten hauled in six catches for 60 yards in the Week 16 game against the New Orleans Saints, giving him 103 receptions for the season. That's an NFL record for catches by a tight end, breaking the mark set by TE Tony Gonzalez, then with the Kansas City Chiefs, back in 2004.
Tue, 18 Dec 2012 19:14:42 -0800 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten has 97 receptions through Week 14, and he needs just six more receptions over the next two games to set the single-season NFL record for catches by a tight end. Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez holds the record of 102, set in 2004 when he was a member of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Sun, 16 Dec 2012 21:24:30 -0800 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten had five catches for 43 yards and a touchdown in the Week 15 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fantasy Tip: The yardage total was Witten's worst since Week 3, but it was his first visit to the end zone since Week 4, so fantasy owners will take it. He and the Cowboys passing offense face a very favorable matchup in Week 16 against the New Orleans Saints.
Mon, 10 Dec 2012 08:40:36 -0800 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten will set the record for most receptions in a season by a tight end in NFL history with 11 catches in the final three games. Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez had 102 catches for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2004.
Mon, 03 Dec 2012 08:08:50 -0800 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten had a season-high 18 yards per catch in Week 13, and only one of his six catches went for less than 10 yards. The return of RB DeMarco Murray (foot) to the lineup enabled for more big plays in the passing game. "I think being able to run the ball and not being one dimensional, they're not bailing out of there and that's not something we got to really in the last four or five ballgames," Witten said. "That was big. Obviously I feel good about that."
Sun, 02 Dec 2012 22:20:01 -0800 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten posted a game-high 108 yards on six receptions in the Week 13 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fantasy Tip: Witten has been tremendous as far as receptions and yardage, as he has at least six grabs and 51 yards in each of his past six games. However, he has managed just one touchdown this season, and none over his past eight games. Still, he is a must-start fantasy option in all leagues.
Thu, 22 Nov 2012 19:27:34 -0800 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten had nine receptions for 74 yards in the Week 12 game against the Washington Redskins Thursday, Nov. 22. Fantasy Tip: Witten has managed six or more receptions in eight consecutive games after opening the season with eight catches in his first three contests this season.
Sun, 11 Nov 2012 21:45:07 -0800 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten had eight receptions for 47 yards in Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fantasy Tip: After starting out with just eight receptions in the first three games, Witten has racked up 58 receptions over his past six games. He would be considered the top fantasy TE in the game if he had more than one touchdown on the season.
Sun, 04 Nov 2012 21:57:40 -0800 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten broke the franchise record for most career catches, passing WR Michael Irvin. He finished with seven receptions for 51 yards in the Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Tue, 30 Oct 2012 11:23:26 -0700 Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones does not think the Cowboys are getting stale, or boring to watch. "Do you think Romo's exciting to watch? Of course he is," Jones said. "Is Jason Witten worth watching and coming to see? Maybe in the top five of all the players we've had, you can go to the person as well as the player. Certainly Miles Austin has proven that he can make exciting plays. He's been dealing with hamstring (injuries), but he can. Apart from that, we probably have – and I'm going to pull this one out of my head here – but we probably had at least 50 percent of our players that weren't on our roster two years ago on the field the other day. So stale would not be the word for it."
Mon, 29 Oct 2012 07:30:15 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten's 18 receptions and 22 targets in Week 8 were the most by a tight end in a game over the last five seasons. Seventeen of Witten's 18 receptions came on throws 10 yards or fewer downfield, the second-most by any receiver since the start of the 2008 season.
Sun, 28 Oct 2012 18:55:23 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten caught a franchise record 18 passes for 167 yards against the New York Giants in Week 8.

Sun, 14 Oct 2012 17:41:17 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten was targeted seven times in the Week 6 game against the Baltimore Ravens, and he hauled in six of those balls for 88 yards.
Sat, 06 Oct 2012 05:41:47 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten said he never lost confidence in his abilities despite a slow start to the season that included more than his fair share of drops. Witten caught 13 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown in Week 4. "I always felt confident in my game. I feel better than I've ever felt. I had some opportunities to make some catches that I'm accustomed and expected to make, and I didn't do it. But you stay the course," Witten said. "You've done it so many times. I knew there was going to be some opportunities to make some plays. I was glad to get back on track so to speak."
Mon, 01 Oct 2012 21:23:54 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten hauled in 13 balls for 112 yards and a touchdown in the Week 4 game Monday, Oct. 1, against the Chicago Bears. Witten was targeted a team-high 14 times. It was his 15th career 100-yard game. Witten entered the game as the NFL leader in drops, but he had none Monday. Witten was just two catches short of a career high.
Mon, 01 Oct 2012 06:26:59 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten leads the NFL so far this season with five dropped passes.
Mon, 24 Sep 2012 14:50:39 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten said he is healthy and there are no injuries to blame for his dropped passes this season. He said he is in the right spot to make the catches but is not able to make the play for some reason. He said the lacerated spleen he suffered in the preseason has not been a factor during play. He has dropped six passes in the last two games.
Mon, 24 Sep 2012 05:52:37 -0700 Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones said following Week 3 he is not concerned with the number of dropped passes TE Jason Witten has so far this season. Witten was targeted six times in the game but dropped multiple passes and finished with two catches for eight yards. "I think Witten's probably got the fewest drops of about anybody we've ever had around here, so I'm not (concerned)," Jones said. "We in no way are going to do anything rather than give Witten all the chances we can give him."
Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:19:45 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (spleen) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 21, and is probable for the team's Week 3 game.

Mon, 17 Sep 2012 07:31:49 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten said following Week 2 his long layoff from a spleen injury during the preseason didn't affect his play in the game. Witten had three drops in Week 2. "I feel 100 percent," Witten said. "I just dropped the ball. No excuses there. The injury had nothing to do with that. Rest assured, I'll get it fixed."
Mon, 17 Sep 2012 06:12:02 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten dropped three passes out of 10 targeted attempts in Week 2.
Sun, 16 Sep 2012 23:12:45 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten had four receptions for 58 yards in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Witten became the third tight end in NFL history, and the second player in franchise history, to record at least 700 career receptions.

Mon, 10 Sep 2012 10:30:22 -0700 Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said the team will be monitoring TE Jason Witten (abdomen) during practice this week to make sure he is not having any problems with his spleen. Witten did not report any soreness or problems with the injury after the team's Week 1 game.
Mon, 10 Sep 2012 09:49:43 -0700 Dallas Cowboys RB Felix Jones (ribs), CB Mike Jenkins (shoulder), WR Andre Holmes (knee), CB Morris Claiborne (knee) and TE Jason Witten (spleen) attended practice Monday, Sept. 10.
Sat, 08 Sep 2012 06:02:24 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (spleen) did not appear to suffer any setbacks after returning to action in Week 1. "It sounds like he came out of the game OK," head coach Jason Garrett said. "He seemed good after the game." Witten played 53 of the team's 68 offensive snaps in Week 1. Garrett said he didn't want to overuse Witten, who had two catches for 10 yards. Fantasy Tip: Witten's health should continue to be monitored; however, it appears his role will expand in the coming weeks. If Kevin Ogletree can build on his Week 1 performance, it may also open up the field more for Witten to receive more targets.
Wed, 05 Sep 2012 16:05:54 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (spleen) will be active for the Week 1 game against the New York Giants Wednesday, Sept. 5. Fantasy Tip: Expect Witten to be limited in this one. As a result, he's an extremely risky TE1 option this week. If you have other options, you're better off going that route.
Wed, 05 Sep 2012 14:56:34 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (spleen) was out on the field early getting in some stretching prior to the Cowboys Week 1 game against the New York Giants. Witten is still listed as doubtful and is expected to be a game-time decision.
Wed, 05 Sep 2012 10:36:04 -0700 Despite the lobbying of Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (spleen) to play in Week 1 against the New York Giants Wednesday, Sept. 5, the team continues to call him a game-time decision. The team is hesitant to let him play this week, but they appear comfortable letting him start in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks. Witten underwent another CT scan Tuesday, Sept. 4.
Wed, 05 Sep 2012 07:28:49 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (spleen) made the trip with the team for their Week 1 game against the New York Giants. Witten is listed as a game-time decision; however, he is doubtful for the game. Witten has even offered to sign a medical waiver, but the Cowboys will not accept it.
Wed, 05 Sep 2012 04:46:58 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (spleen) is fine, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation; however, he is unlikely to play in Week 1.
Tue, 04 Sep 2012 10:20:30 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (spleen) was limited in practice Tuesday, Sept. 4, and is doubtful for Week 1. Fantasy Tip: Witten was already a risky TE1 option entering the beginning of the season, and this just confirms it. Even if he does play, he'll likely be limited and is too much of a gamble to start in Week 1. John Phillips will likely start at tight end instead, but he isn't worth fantasy consideration.
Mon, 03 Sep 2012 16:31:53 -0700 Dallas Cowboys CB Mike Jenkins (shoulder), DT Jay Ratliff (ankle) and TE Jason Witten (spleen) will each make the trip to New Jersey for the Week 1 game against the New York Giants Wednesday, Sept. 5.

Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:32:54 -0700 Dallas Cowboys QB Tony Romo and team owner and general manager Jerry Jones were both optimistic Sunday, Sept. 2, that TE Jason Witten (spleen) would be ready to play in the regular season opener Wednesday, Sept. 5, against the New York Giants. "As of what I know, I think he's going to (play), yes," Romo said
Sun, 02 Sep 2012 13:34:27 -0700 Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten (abdomen) is scheduled to undergo a scan on his injured spleen Tuesday, Sept. 4, to determine if he has a chance to play Week 1. He said he will play in the game if he is cleared to play.
