Due to the game being on Monday, The Cowboys will be receiving an extra day off, which should help some of these guys heal a bit.
And speaking of the injury front... there are a lot of injuries:
- Miles Austin reaggrivated his hamstring and it
seems he is not expected to play against Washington.- Felix Jones sustained a separated shoulder during Sunday's game and depending on his tolerance for pain, he should be a go for Monday Night.
- Dallas is 'hopeful' that Dez Bryant will be healthy enough from his thigh contusion that he will play this week. I think he'll be listed as questionable and they will take it day-to-day to evaluate him.
- Terence Newman has tweeted that he will be playing in the Washington game, further evidence of this is Dallas cutting CB Bryan McCann yesterday (to re-sign WR Laurent Robinson.)
- Tony Romo, the warrior, will more than likely play. Apparently the fractured rib and punctured lung (which sounds worse than it actually is,) won't medically force him to miss the game, as long as Romo can handle the pain, he'll play.
- There are a few other injuries like Lineman Bill Nagy, CB Orlando Scandrick and a few others, but there hasn't been any definitive word on them, so we'll see as we get closer to gameday.
In Other News:
- Two former Cowboys have been signed by, surprise surprise, The Miami Dolphins... LB Igor Olshansky and CB Nate Jones.
In Stat News:
- Dallas has notched a couple top spots in regards to stats for the first two weeks of the season. Sean Lee leads the league in tackles with 23. DeMarcus Ware leads the league in sacks with 4 and Tony Romo has the fifth most passing yards in the league with 687 (although it's still a far cry from Tom Brady's 940.)
