Travis Wilson tries to makes Cowboys roster as Corey recovers: This is Travis Wilsons' life as he prepares for the Cowboys’ off-season conditioning program, minicamps, OTAs and training camp as he tries to earn a roster spot. Roy Williams, Patrick Crayton, Miles Austin and Sam Hurd will make the team unless something weird happens. Travis will compete with Isaiah Stanback, whomever the Cowboys draft and a collection of free-agent receivers for the final spot. None will be more determined than Travis. "I've always played for my family, but this situation is different because I'm playing for my brother," said Travis, who has spent the last three weeks traveling back and forth between Dallas and Norman. "It’s like it was meant to be. Everything happens for a reason." (The Oklahoman)

Corey Wilson "making good progress": Oklahoma wide receiver Corey Wilson, who a month ago was critically injured in a car crash, is improving and may be released from the Jim Thorpe Rehabilitation Center as early as the first week of April, coach Bob Stoops said Wednesday. "He's making good progress and continues to get stronger," Stoops said. "I saw him this morning. The rehab and the way he is working and continues to make good progress, they're hopeful he'll be able to be released from the Thorpe rehab center April 3. He's had a positive attitude with all his work every day." Travis Wilson, Corey's older brother, told the Dallas Morning News this week that Corey has moved one of his toes and has gained sensation in his hips. "He knows he's going to walk. We respect the doctors and their profession," Travis told the newspaper, "but the only one who knows is the man upstairs. "Corey is going to walk again. It might take two weeks. Or three weeks. Or six months. Or 10 years. But it's going to happen." (The Oklahoman)

Report: Wilson paralyzed from waist down: The University of Oklahoma student-run newspaper, The Oklahoma Daily is reporting receiver Corey Wilson is paralyzed from the waist down citing an anonymous team source.

Football players received an e-mail this weekend saying that Wilson is paralyzed from the waist down, according to a player who asked to remain anonymous because players aren't allowed to speak with the media.

Yesterday, teammate and receiver Dejuan Miller commented on Wilson.

"We feel like we have to play for him now," said wideout Dejuan Miller. "He's going through a life-changing situation. We're really pushing for him. I'm praying for him every day.

"I just hope one day he can defeat the odds and walk again."

Although, the report is not confirmed -- Corey Wilson and his family remain in our thoughts and prayers.
