The Facts: Hurns continues rehabbing a dislocated left ankle and a fractured left fibula, and the Cowboys are going to give him an opportunity to win a job. “Allen’s doing great,” HC Jason Garrett said last week. “He is a true pro and just going about it the right way every day, and he’s made tremendous progress.”

Diehards Line: The Cowboys expect Hurns to return at some point in training camp. Hurns, 27, caught only 20 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns in his first season in Dallas, and because the team can save $5 million in cap space with his release, he still could become the odd-man out at the position. Remember, the Cowboys signed former Packers slot man Randall Cobb this offseason.
