Dallas Cowboys OTA Report: Day 1 (Open Thread)

We'll keep this thread open throughout the day to track any interesting developments from the Dallas Cowboys first organized team activity practice this week. All eyes will be on Tony Romo, the defensive line, where the rookie draft picks fall into the rotation, and various other storylines.

You should keep refreshing this thread periodically as we add tweets or other notes from Valley Ranch. Latest updates will appear at the top (below the dotted line).

------------------------

We have a thread up to discuss the Sean Lee injury, here. We don't know exactly what it is yet, some kind of leg injury.

A reason to hold your breath, #Cowboys fans RT @jonmachota: Not good pic.twitter.com/XIwoYn3PnL

Romo taking it easy.

More on Melton and Tyrone Crawford.

Melton, Crawford both in uniforms getting work in for OTAs. Melton moving pretty well with ones in individuals. Encouraging. Wilber with LBs

Gotta like #50 being back.

No pads, but Sean Lee doesn't look remotely hindered by injury. Practicing with the same murderous rage as usual.

— David Helman (@HelmanDC) May 27, 2014

Turns out Henry Melton is at the practice, how much will he participate?

Henry Melton in uniform and helmet at OTAs. Interested to see how much he works

Zack Martin is running with the 1's at RG.

Tony Romo is present at the first OTA and is throwing the ball.

I'll try to keep the live tweeting of OTAs in check some, but Romo is here throwing, Spencer watching near weight room, no Orton

Also, it's good to see Sean Lee back on the field and getting ready for practice. Sure, the defensive line was beat up last year, but when Sean Lee went down, a bad situation went to really bad. Unfortunately, as noted earlier, neither Henry Melton or Anthony Spencer are ready to participate. Melton will be brought along slowly with the hope he can participate in training camp. Spencer is likely a PUP candidate.
