THE GOOD
- A large group of players and their wives went to a Salvation Army homeless shelter to serve out Thanksgiving meals.
- Speaking of people down on their luck. A local Dallas homeless man, Doc, was passing out flyers for a local store trying to gather enough money to see a movie. He did this often, and this day seemed like others.
Suddenly, Tony Romo came out of nowhere, paid for the man's ticket and sat with him as they enjoyed the film, "Role Models." Me thinks Romo has a pretty good P.R. agent.
- Isaiah Stanback is ready to go this week after resting a few weeks from his seperated shoulder. He may require surgery in the off season, but he has been practicing and should play on Sunday.
THE GOOD?
- Adam "Pacman" Jones has been reinstated into the NFL after his four game suspension from that 'incident' in a Dallas hotel involving his bodyguard. Jones spent the last 30 days in a Boston alcohol treatment center and has successfully completed everything he has been asked to do.
He will not be activated for a game until December 7th against The Steelers, but could return to practice as early as Monday.
THE BAD
- Rowdy, the team mascot has been banned from all games except for pregame and brief 3rd quarter appearances to fire t-shirts into the crowd. He has been targeted because of his involvement in a T.O. celebration after a touchdown way back in the Philadelphia game. What a shame.
More seriously...
- T.O. has not practiced this week because of flu-like symptoms. I'm not as concerned about this because he will most likely play Sunday regardless if he has the flu or not.
- Miles Austin sprained his lateral collateral ligament again and is expected to miss at least 2-4 weeks. This brings up many problems, such as who will be the 3rd/4th receiver and who will be the kick returner?
With Isaiah Stanback returning, that should provide a bit of help at both wide receiver and kick returner. Other candidates would include Orlando Scandrick, Mike Jenkins and even Martellus Bennett... ok ok, just kidding about the last one...
THE UGLY
(And perhaps the worst news of the week)
-Felix Jones was back in limited practices Wednesday. Umm... Ok, sounds good right? Well, just a day later it was announced that Jones tore a ligament under his left big toe in rehab and will require season ending surgery.
That's a huge loss, which will most likely force Dallas to bump up Alonzo Coleman from the practice square or quickly sign another player that's out there. Tashard Choice should also see an increased role because of this.
There's still 3 days left in the week, we'll see if any other news pops up... oh yea, Dallas plays San Fransisco this week too... almost forgot.
