Jerry Jones Is "All For" Dez Returning Punts

DALLAS (CBS SPORTS) - In Week 1 of the 2011 season, Dez Bryant suffered a deep thigh bruise while returning a punt against the Jets and ended up missing the following Week 2 game against the 49ers. But despite the dangerous potential for injury on special teams, Jerry Jones says he's "all for" seeing his would-be star receiver and "weapon" returning punts in 2012.

"I have no issue with us making business decisions relative to him returning punts," Jones told the Dallas Morning News. "What I do want him to do is to get enough repetitions so he can have a sense of fielding them and when to field them and when not to field them and make those kinds of judgments, but I like him back there to use him when we've got a long field or a chance for a return."
