Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones said Monday that Escobar (Achilles) could be recovered in time to play in Week 1 against the Giants, David Helman of DallasCowboys.com reports. "I think Gavin will be ready to start the season," Jones said.
Escobar tore his Achilles tendon in December, but he appears to be well ahead of schedule in his rehab. Even if he is in the lineup to begin the regular season, though, he's still stuck behind Jason Witten on the depth chart and would be little more than an occasional red-zone option in a stacked passing game.
