Leon Williams Practicing Well

The focus this weekend has been on the Hall of Fame Class of 2010. But when the Cowboys kick off against the Bengals today at a little past 7 p.m., an intriguing sidelight will unfold as Bengals receiver Terrell Owens goes against the team that a little more than a year ago released him.

This game isn't about Owens. It's not about Smith, either. It's about the players who line up behind the starters on the Cowboys depth chart. Those whom coach Wade Phillips and his staff want to observe.

"Some of the young guys and some of the guys who haven't been with us," Phillips said. "Those people for sure. Even guys who are coming along that have been with us."

Titus Ryan will get work on kickoff and punt returns. The staff wants to see if cornerback Cletis Gordon and linebacker Leon Williams can carry what they have done in camp to a game. The same goes for tight end John Phillips and linebackers Brandon Williams, Jason Williams and Victor Butler.
