| 05/21/13 | QB | Tony Romo | Back | The Dallas Morning News reports Tony Romo had a cyst removed from his back and will be out until at least Cowboys minicamp in June.

"The thing I've been focusing on is what I can control and that's my rehab," he said. "Does that get better every day? Does it get better every week? It has to this point. I'm going to focus on that, and we'll worry about the receiver stuff at a later point. The first thing I've got to focus on is getting this right." (Updated 05/10/2013) | |
| 05/10/13 | RB | Joseph Randle | Hand | Cowboys rookie running back Joseph Randle is recovering from thumb surgery the team claims it knew about before drafting him in April. He's expected to be in a cast for six to eight weeks but will do individual drills and take mental reps during offseason minicamps. "It's certainly a restriction on his thumb, but I think candidly there are a lot of things we can do out here in OTAs and get that thumb clubbed up and he’ll get a lot of work in, a lot of valuable repetition," owner Jerry Jones said. "And we made that decision when we drafted him. Was he going to be able to be ready and that is mentally as well, prepared, to get out here to camp and not have to make up all the lost time in OTAs? I think he will be." (Updated 05/13/2013) | |

Ware will move from linebacker to DE as part of the Cowboys' new 4-3 defense, a move that he thinks will be a piece of cake. "I think it's going to be an easy transition," Ware said. "There are three or four defensive fronts you've got to learn. Everything else comes off of technique and effort." (Updated 04/22/2013) | |
