After his contract expired, the Cowboys brought in Jed Collins, who spent last year with the Lions. By bringing Clutts back, the Cowboys released Collins. Clutts will likely be Dallas' starting fullback again. Clutts caught his first NFL touchdown pass in the playoffs during Dallas' loss to the Packers.

Lions might keep two fullbacks
Detroit Lions general manager Martin Mayhew said the team might keep both fullbacks currently on the roster: Jed Collins and Montell Owens. "Montell can play fullback, but Montell is sort of a tweener halfback/fullback guy," Mayhew told MLive.com. "Obviously Jed, he's a hammering fullback. I've seen him play fullback on some run downs and short-yardage situations, he can play some special teams for you in some other situations. So they're really two different types of players. "There's a way where you keep both of them, so we'll see how it all plays out."
