Brian Westbrook didn’t play last week against the New York Giants due to a concussion. However, in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys, Westbrook is expected to be back in action.

Miles Austin is a secret weapon no more. In Week 5 of the 2009 NFL season, Austin had a monstrous outing. The 6-foot-3, 214-pound wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys had ten catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns. The receiving yards broke a franchise record and his performance apparently earned him more action going forward.
Said Wade Phillips, head coach of the Cowboys: “We’re going to get him on the field. His run after the catch is so strong that if you get him the football, he’s liable to make a big play.”
Austin started Week 5 due to Roy Williams …read more

When healthy, the Dallas Cowboys have a lot of offensive weapons. In Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Cowboys will be without two of their weapons — wide receiver Roy Williams and running back Felix Jones.
Williams is sidelined due to rib cartilage damage. In total, three of his ribs are hurt. So far this season, Williams has 214 receiving yards and one touchdown.
Missing his second straight week, Jones is battling a knee injury. When healthy, he has been very good — averaging 10.1 yards per rush on 21 carries. However, the second year pro has only been able …read more

After missing last week, Marion Barber is expected to play in Week 4 for the Dallas Cowboys. The team’s starting running back, who is dealing with quad injury, impressed his boss.
Said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones: “He did more than we thought and he will have expectations, I would like to reserve that to after practice, but I bet he’s pretty aggressive out here in practice.”
Felix Jones, who started in Barber’s place in Week 3, will be out of action in Week 4. Jones injured his knee and will need to miss at least one game.
If Barber is back in action, …read more

If you watched the Dallas Cowboys take on the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football, you undoubtedly saw Cowboys running back Marion Barber go down with an injury. Right away it appeared as if Barber had injured his left quadriceps. It has now been confirmed that Barber sustained a strained quad muscle.
Barber’s injury was confirmed via an MRI on Monday. While the Cowboys are saying that Barber is receiving treatment in an attempt to play this weekend against the Carolina Panthers, many media reports indicate that Barber will likely have to miss at least one game.

Roy Williams, the Dallas Cowboys wide receiver who is attempting to replace the departed Terrell Owens, hurt his left shoulder in a practice session on Thursday. While X-rays were reported negative, Williams is expected to miss the rest of preseason action.
Williams was injured in a collision with Orlando Scandrick, a cornerback. Earlier in training camp, Scandrick was the covering cornerback when Williams landed hard and injured his wrist. On another occasion this training camp, Scandrick hit Williams so hard that the wide receiver’s helmet came flying out.
This is obviously another setback for Williams, who hasn’t looked overly sharp so far. …read more

Jerry Jones got right to business this week when it came to addressing his team, the Dallas Cowboys. He said point blank that the team had missed “a golden opportunity” last year when it failed to get to the Super Bowl and that “amends must be made this season.”

Hear that, Tony Romo? Romo isn’t the entire team, but like any quarterback he gets the attention and blame at times. More than that, however, he can set an example.
When Jones addressed his team, Romo and his flying off to Cabo was the first thing that popped into my …read more

Jesse Holley, a former backup point guard at North Carolina, has been named the winner of Michael Irvin’s reality show called “4th and Long”. The reality show, which aired on Spike, was hosted and organized by Irvin with the goal to find a player that could potentially help the Dallas Cowboys.
Holley, who is 6-foot-3 and about 215 pounds, is a wide receiver with good speed and good size for the position. While he had a little bit of experience with the Cincinnati Bengals a few years ago, he’s yet to hit the big time.
In “4th and Long”, Irvin took a …read more

A recent rumor had Marvin Harrison likely headed to the Minnesota Vikings to potentially team up with Brett Favre. The latest Marvin Harrison rumor has him headed to the Dallas Cowboys as Big D bolsters its wide receiving corps to compensate for the loss of Terrell Owens.
While this rumor sounds like a longshot, Jerry Jones is known to make surprise moves. Signing the future Hall of Fame wide receiver would definitely be a surprise.
Harrison is coming off of a season in which he didn’t perform up to his normal standards. He finished the campaign with 60 receptions with 636 receiving …read more
