Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones somewhat surprisingly admitted that hes disappointed with the teams top draft pick, Morris Claiborne, who has been sidelined with injuries for most of the off-season, Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News reports. Our young guys got to get healthy, Jones told the Elf & Slater Show on KRLD. Theres no excuse. All of them. Jones then mentioned rookie safety Matt Johnson and rookie defensive end Tyrone Crawford before saying, Mo Claibornes got to get out there. The times hes been out there, its been impressive. But he certainly cant make the club in the tub, if you will. Hes got to get out there. Its time. We got to start having a mentality that were going to play through things. The cornerback out of LSU, who was the sixth overall pick, missed all of rookie mini-camp, organized team activities and mini-camp because of a surgically repaired left wrist. Recently, Claiborne has missed several days of training camp after spraining the MCL in his left knee last week.
