It’s been a rather quiet day on the field for OTA practices but we would be remiss not to show you the headlines coming out of today. First up, Dez Bryant is not even interested at a ‘clap-back’ for Josh Norman.

Another receiver is out there putting in the work, yesterday it was the very elusive “hands” catch for Terrance Williams. Today, we got Brice Butler with his own snag:

Witten just catches the ball while laying on the ground, even when he’s resting, he’s not resting.
Jason Garrett thinks that periodic rest this offseason is a good thing in the long run for Jason Witten.

Dez Bryant also got to chirping about the young defensive backs on the roster and how exciting it is to teach them how to cover big time receivers like himself.
