Cowboys WR A.J. Jenkins: "I have to prove to myself I can do it.''

Receiver A.J. Jenkins remains on the outside looking in when it comes to a roster spot.

But the former first round pick has come on strong leading up to the Cowboys preseason game with Minnesota.

“I’m just working hard, just grinding,’’ Jenkins said. “Every day is a new day.

“I’ve had some ups and some downs. I just have to keep going.’’

Jenkins didn’t do much to distinguish himself in the early days of training camp. But he caught two passes for 40 yards in the loss to San Francisco and came back with three outstanding practices to finish camp.
