Jerry Jones weighs in on mistakes from Cowboys' 4-12 run and why he's screaming into his pillow

ARLINGTON - With training camp approaching at the end of the month in Oxnard, Calif., Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and executive vice president Stephen Jones met with reporters Monday following an official announcement welcoming the Canelo Alvarez-Liam Smith boxing fight in September to AT&T Stadium.
They spilled some tidbits about the Cowboys:
*Running back Lance Dunbar's rehab is going well, according to Stephen Jones.
Dunbar's recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament in his left knee in October is progressing faster than anyone expected, though the Cowboys will be cautious in how they bring him back. If his return crowds the running backs room even more (Ezekiel Elliott, Darren McFadden, Alfred Morris), Jerry Jones is just fine with it.
"We've got the quality there to where if it works itself out to where we keep them all," Jones said, "we'll keep them all. And we'll go short on other positions. They're too good. It's too important. ... We want that kind of depth."
*The status of RB McFadden (elbow), defensive tackle Maliek Collins (foot) and defensive end Benson Mayowa (knee) will be watched closely during training camp.
"We could certainly see a few of those guys start off on [Physically unable to perform list]," Stephen Jones said. "We want to be careful with them. This is a long season, and we all remember last year when Darren McFadden missed a majority of the camp in Oxnard and then went on to have a tremendous year."
*Jerry Jones on the suspensions of LB Rolando McClain, DE Randy Gregory and DE DeMarcus Lawrence and the impact of them all coming on the defensive side:
"You want to make the best of it and look for the silver lining. The silver lining is that there's going to be some younger guys step up. I think that we can look at that, surely we'll get some consideration from the main decision-maker, the guy up above. And say, 'Look, we don't want to take away any more. We've got enough right there.' If he'll leave those guys out there that weren't out there last year for us, [Tony] Romo and Dez Bryant and get us a good, continued success in our offensive line, then maybe something's compensating for it. There's nobody that's got any empathy or sympathy for us, for me, for my nightly screaming in my pillow."
