Cowboys' Jason Garrett: 'No Doubt' TE Jason Witten Can Still Play

Jason Garrett has "no doubt" tight end Jason Witten can still play at a high level in the NFL, the Cowboys head coach said on Thursday at the NFL combine.

Witten caught the football world by surprise when he announced Thursday that he was ending his retirement and rejoining the Cowboys in 2019 for his 16th season. The longtime Dallas tight end was a member of Monday Night Football's broadcast booth in 2018 before experiencing a recent change of heart.

When asked about Witten's return, Garrett confirmed it had been a topic of conversation for weeks ahead of the official announcement.
