Cowboys' Witten: 'Jitters were real' in return

HONOLULU -- Jason Witten admitted he had more jitters than he normally would for a preseason game after 15 years in the league.

A year away from playing for the Dallas Cowboys will do that to an 11-time Pro Bowl tight end.

In his first action since Dec. 31, 2017, caught one pass for 10 yards on the first-team's only drive of the Cowboys' 14-10 win against the Los Angeles Rams at Aloha Stadium on Saturday.

"A year away from the game, all the work to get back here since March, getting in shape, getting your body ready, having an opportunity, I know I've got a lot to prove," Witten said.
