NFL Notes: Cowboys, Dolphins, Giants, Ravens & Titans

• “There’s little doubt who is running the Cowboys offense.” OC Scott Linehan is reportedly leading all of the team meetings. (Albert Breer)

Dolphins

• RB Daniel Thomas and TE Michael Egnew were both mentioned as veterans who could be on the bubble this year. (James Walker)

Giants

• DC Perry Fewell mentioned that one of the reasons they signed Jameel McClain this offseason was to provide some insurance in case LB Jon Beason suffered an injury. (Ebenezer Samuel)
