Witten questionable for game vs Giants

IRVING, Texas -- Cowboys tight end Jason Witten still hasn't been ruled out of playing with a broken rib against the New York Giants, even after missing practice again Friday.

Witten hasn't practiced this week with the Cowboys, but the team listed him as questionable for Sunday's game. The four-time Pro Bowl tight end, hurt in last week's victory over Tampa Bay, said he hopes to play.

Coach Wade Phillips said Witten could play against the Giants without practicing.

"He does everything right in practice, that's why he doesn't need to practice as much," Phillips said.

I know Jason is a tough guy but

I personally would rather him sit this out, and basically get 3 weeks of healing on the fractured rib before he plays versus the Redskins on 11/16.

I AGREE

losing him for mulitple games is not worth it.. I am not convinced Brad can find him anyway.. If he had trouble breathing yesterday, just not sure how he can be ready to go..

I agree.......but I suit him up, and bring him in the game late if we were still contending for victory...

He would provide a great inspirational tool for the team to will it’s way to victory late.
