Keep your eye on ...

Cowboys CB Adam Jones: The former Titan was reinstated by Commissioner Roger Goodell after his suspension for the entire 2007 season for violating the league's conduct policy. Jones is being counted on to be the team's nickleback and punt returner.

Cowboys WR Patrick Crayton: With no completely healthy backup wide receivers currently on the roster, Dallas will need Crayton to be at the top of his game. Terrell Owens figures to receive plenty of attention from the Browns secondary and Crayton could have some one-on-one opportunities.

Browns DTs Shaun Rogers and Corey Williams: Cleveland's main objective during the offseason was to improve the league's 30th-ranked defense. It acquired two interior linemen in Rogers and Williams, and both will face a significant challenge against Dallas' offensive line, which is considered one of the best in the league.

Browns QB Derek Anderson: The Pro Bowl signal caller suffered a concussion in the team's second preseason game and missed the team's last two outings. He is expected to start in Week 1, but could be replaced by Brady Quinn if he suffers a setback.
