A high-ranking Cowboys source told ESPN's Ed Werder that [Marion] Barber damaged cartilage in his rib cage but X-rays indicated there were no fractures. While the team is uncertain of Barber's availability for next Monday night's home game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the source said the Cowboys medical staff believes that Barber could be treated with painkilling injections and the injury protected with additional padding that would improve his chances of playing.

Limit him, big time, but we’re gonna need him in that game. Its not going to be the soft Browns D we’re going up against. Eagles, folks, the EAGLES. We need to shove this one down their throats far, and we’re going to need everyone to do it.

Tom Grieve is my hero.

Rest him if it will help

If resting him this week will help him heal faster, then rest him. As much as I want to crush the Eagles this week (and win my fantasy leagues where I have Barber), it’s week 2. There is no reason to panic or rush him back out there. If the injury is what it is and playing won’t affect it other than pain, and MB3 wants to play, then let him go. He’s too valuable to lose, as we saw yesterday, so be careful.

I think we can get by with Felix and Choice for a game or two.
