FRISCO -- Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is touting receiver Tavon Austin's abilities as the team's punt returner this season, describing him as a threat every time he touches the ball.
And Austin has been dynamic at times during his career, with 1,356 yards and three touchdowns to his credit over the last five seasons. But he's coming off a rough season on the job a year ago for the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams ended up benching Austin after he had four fumbles -- three lost -- in 12 punt returns, including two muffed punts in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
