Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones attended Sunday's Pro Bowl at Sun Life Stadium with his son, John Stephen, and nephews Shy and Paxton Anderson. While he would have liked to have seen the NFC leave with a victory, he got the best news after the game: nobody was hurt.
Carolina's Julius Peppers was hurt early in the game, which meant DeMarcus Ware had to play some defensive end. And he got a sack. Mike Jenkins said he was winded because he played so much defensively and on every special team in a 41-34 outcome.
Jones talked briefly to head athletic trainer Jim Maurer to see if any Cowboys were injured after the game. He was told everybody was OK.
"That's the first thing, no injuries," Jones said. "We accomplished the most important part."
Cowboys Stadium a future Pro Bowl site?

In addition to the Cowboys home games, Cowboys Stadium has hosted high school and college football, soccer, college basketball and will have the rodeo come through as well as the NBA All-Star Game.
Next year it gets Super Bowl XLV.
And someday maybe the Pro Bowl.
The Pro Bowl will return to Hawaii the next two years but what's left unknown is whether it will be played the week before the Super Bowl or after.
Sunday's attendance certainly helped whatever cause there is to keep it on the mainland. The official attendance for Sunday's game Pro Bowl was 70,697, the second-biggest crowd in Pro Bowl history. The largest crowd was 72,250 at the 1959 Pro Bowl, which was played at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said he would love to see the game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.
"We'd love to have it," said Jones, who was attending his first Pro Bowl. "Sick we're not going to have it, but Hawaii has done a lot for the NFL and we respect that, but at some point we'd love to have it.
