During the morning workout Saturday, Owens caught a long pass from Romo despite good coverage from Terence Newman.

In another drill, Owens fell to the ground and slapped his hands together after being denied a ball by Adam Jones. But a few players later, T.O. got back at the player who no longer wants to be known as “Pacman” when he shed the cornerback for a tough catch.

Like he did with the signing of Owens in 2006, Jerry Jones became a target of criticism when he acquired the still-suspended Adam Jones from Tennessee in April. But Owens knows both moves were made to help the Cowboys finally get to another Super Bowl.

“It’s just about (Jerry Jones’) commitment to winning,” Owens said. “And it shows that. Hell, I’m here.”

Notes: Former Cowboys receiver Keyshawn Johnson attended both practices Saturday, one day after the team waived Terry Glenn. Johnson, now working with ESPN, made it clear he was just an observer. “They do (need a receiver) and I’m not him. I’m just here watching,” Johnson said. “I happened to play the position once upon a time.” The Cowboys cut Johnson in a salary cap move to sign Owens. Johnson then played one season in Charlotte before retiring. ... Running back Duane Thomas, the team’s first-round pick in the 1970 draft and a member of the Cowboys’ first Super Bowl championship team, was also at practice.
