New York Giants LB Chad Jones (leg) is doing cutting and agility drills, running uphill and participating in 100-yard sprints as part of his rehab.

Come back the next day and do it all over again, without soreness and pain.' He plans to take part in full-contact training at some point in February.

Cowboys | Meeting with several prospects Wednesday Wed Mar 31, 04:15 PM
Nick Eatman, of DallasCowboys.com, reports the Dallas Cowboys are meeting with University of Idaho OG Mike Iupati, Indiana (Pa.) CB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, University of Illinois WR Arrelious Benn, University of Massachusetts OL Vladimir Ducasse, Penn State LB Sean Lee, Georgia Tech SS Morgan Burnett, Wake Forest CB Brandon Ghee and Louisiana State FS Chad Jones Wednesday, March 31.
| Footballguys view: The Cowboys are looking to upgrade their WR corps, and that's why we're seeing them visit players like Dez Bryant and Arrelious Benn. If Bryant doesn't fall to them in the first-round then Benn would make a lot of sense for them in the second-round. Benn is a big target that is very aggressive after the catch. He reminds some in the scouting community of Broncos WR Brandon Marshall. |

| Footballguys view: Holliday is a diminutive playmaker in the mold of Cardinals RB LaRod Stephens-Howling. Lafell is considered to be one of the best wide receivers in this draft class. Scott will remind people of former Bengals RB Rudi Johnson, and Keiland Williams will have to earn his way on special teams - but has the skill set to contribute as a running back. |
