On Friday there was conversation floating around Cowboys Nation about rookie wide receiver Jalen Tolbert. Unfortunately, it wasn’t necessarily positive conversation.
A prominent voice in the DFW media landscape noted that the Cowboys may not have their rookie third-round pick active during the season opener on Sunday, and given that Tolbert has not been on any of the injury reports all week long, that would make him a healthy scratch.
Coincidentally, the team’s EVP, Stephen Jones, jumped on the radio airwaves on Friday afternoon a few hours after this story was floating around. Jones was specifically on San Antonio Sports Star and at the very beginning of his interview (which you can listen to here) was asked how Tolbert is coming along in his mind.
