In the wake of a season that saw both Tony Romo and Dez Bryant miss significant time due to injuries, the Dallas Cowboys' two best players plan to work out any resulting kinks by putting in extra time together this offseason.

The two were not able to get on the field at the same time during OTAs, so they'll get in private sessions leading up to training camp in an effort to return to the 86 reception, 1,305-yard, 15-touchdown season they combined for in 2014.

"There's a schedule in place," Romo said Thursday, according to Todd Archer of ESPN. "We're going to be out there. And he needs to just run routes and simulate two-minute (offense). You've got to do these little things that emulate practice and games. And the only way to do that is to get out on the football field and go do it."

"Now, the hard part is having the defensive back right in front of your face and dealing some of those other little things," Romo continued. "But you can do just about everything from your own physical standpoint when it comes to your lungs, your technique, the stuff that you do as if it were off coverage."

Bryant still hasn't been able to return from foot surgery that took place in January, but Romo believes the two will pick up where they left off easily when Bryant returns to full health.

"Once you get to camp, it will take just a little bit of time to get the other stuff back," Romo said. "But he's played the game long enough that it won't take him much time. We just need him healthy. And when he's healthy, that stuff comes very fast."
