Back in the Saddle Again

The Cowboys are back to practice after having the weekend off, and there are a few changes and injury updates.

As far as injuries go, Sensabaugh is back in practice with a cast on his broken thumb, and plans to play Sunday. Felix Jones is still day to day, which means he probably won't play.

Two unexpected names have popped up on the injury list, Demarcus Ware and Marion Barber. Ware is dealing with a stress fracture in his foot and Barber has a fractured left thumb... again, both plan on playing.

A few lineup changes have also been announced, starting with Tashard Choice getting more carries. Most likely this is due to the fact that Barber is still iffy, and Felix Jones may not play at all. Choice might be the only choice come Sunday.

The biggest change is that Miles Austin will be starting in place of Patrick Crayton. After a Cowboys Record day with 250 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns against Kansas City, Wade Phillips said this was an easy decision to make.

Crayton, on the other-hand, feels that it's unfair. He claims he was never told beforehand about this change at wide receiver and blah blah blah... Crayton always runs his mouth, so this is nothing new.

After muffing a punt and missing a pass or two, Wade Phillips and Jason Garrett might not be the only two people on a hot seat. I could definitely see this team being Crayton-less next season.

In other shocking news, the point spread is still favoring Dallas by 4 points. I thought that by now it would have been re-evaluated and reduced or even that Atlanta would switch positions and be favored, but it doesn't look like it. I'm hoping Vegas knows what it's talking about... We'll find out on Sunday.
