This week’s 10-6 loss to the Eagles has the Dallas media up in arms…the sky is falling. Well one loss is not the end of the world, but with the playoffs starting in a few weeks injuries have begun to pile up on the Dallas Cowboys.
Quarterback Tony Romo injured his thumb during the game. He was able to finish, but had his worst game as a starter. After a few days of rest he was able to participate in Wednesday’s full practice so we should expect him to start this Saturday in Carolina.
Pat Watkins will miss the game this week with a sprained ankle but should be back next week. The news sounds the same as far as Andre Gurode’s knee.
Terry Glenn made a step forward again this week. He practiced in seven-on-seven drills. In his press conference, Wade Phillips said there is a possibility Glenn could play this week but I wouldn’t expect to see him until the final game against Washington.
Roy Williams has also been officially suspended by the NFL for repeated horse-collar tackle violations. Keith Davis will take up most of the slack left from Roy’s absence. The suspension will last for one game but it will be interesting to hear what the penalty for his next violation will be. Apparently he can’t help himself.
All things considered, the Cowboys should match up well against Carolina this Saturday as long as Terence Newman and Anthony Henry are feeling alright.
Oh, that reminds me, Pro Bowl selections for February’s game in Hawaii were released today. 11 Cowboys were included. So if you happen to be one of the few people to watch the game, you’ll see some familiar faces.
