For the Cowboys, RT Marc Colombo (leg) and SS Pat Watkins (ankle) are out for the home game against the Eagles, and both may be doubtful for the first week of the postseason.
As for the playoff game, coach Wade Phillips said, "I think it's a long shot for both of them." A second playoff game, if necessary could bring Colombo and Watkins back to the lineup. Watkins was running with a brace on his left knee during the open media of practice on Thursday.
These other Cowboys are probable for the game.
WR Miles Austin (thumb), CB Terence Newman (knee), S Gerald Sensabaugh (thumb), LB DeMarcus Ware (wrist).
Here is the link to the Cowboys' official injury report.
Make the jump.
QB Mike Vick, who missed last week's Denver game with a quad injury, is listed as probable.
Vick fully participated in practice on Thursday and Friday.
Coach Andy Reid said that Vick will be the backup quarterback on Sunday, and that he could play. "Yeah, he could," Reid said. "He's feeling good. He practiced today. We have a couple things in for him. I look forward to getting him back in there and playing."
The Eagles will also get safety Quentin Demps (ankle) back, who could help their return game.
Demps, the Eagles' primary kick returner since Ellis Hobbs was lost for the season with a neck injury, has been fighting an ankle injury for much of the season and missed the Broncos game. That created a near disaster, with rookie Macho Harris fumbling twice, losing one, and nearly costing the Eagles a win they had to have.
Here is the Eagles' official injury report.
Also probable for the Eagles are receiver Reggie Brown (shoulder), center Nick Cole (knee), safety Quintin Demps (ankle), guard Max Jean-Gilles (ankle), and receiver Jeremy Maclin (foot). No other Eagles appear on the injury report.
With C Jamaal Jackson out for the season, here's how Philly will shuffle its offensive line.
[G]uard Nick Cole moves over and Max Jean-Gilles takes Cole's spot on the right side. Cole is a center first, a guard second, so he steps into his natural position, but you have to believe there could be trouble with snaps and line calls.
In other news, Dallas players voted special teams coach Joe DeCamillis to be just the fourth person ever to receive the Special Courage Award.
The Cowboys have been inspired by DeCamillis' will since the beginning of organized team activities, when he wore a bulky neck brace and used Tom Landry's old bullhorn while coaching 15 days after he was injured in the collapse of the team's indoor facility.
DeCamillis' story took another painful twist Sunday afternoon, when he was rushed to the hospital for an emergency appendectomy. Doctors also repaired a hernia he didn't know he had.
Hat tip to DavidH22 for the FanPost.
Because he is a coach, DeCamillis was not eligible to win the Ed Block Courage Award. That award went to LG Kyle Kosier.

Cowboys give this award to DeCamillis... and rightfully so.
Want to talk about courage? After what he’s been through? Even his wife can’t keep him home. I applaud this guy everyday.
Let’s not forget, the Eagles gave the same award to Michael Vick. Go figure.
I really think the Vick award
was to continue to raise his trade value. Nothing else. Clearly, DeCamillis and Vick are on opposite ends of deserving.

Like some team is going to give up any more in a trade because Vick got the award
I don’t think so.
Drago says, "We must break you!"
The Eagles
are simply trying to portray him in the best light possible.
Are you right? Probably, but regardless, no one is going to be turned off to him because of the award. It has potential to help him, most likely won’t change any opinion, but certainly has no potential to hurt him

Vick winning that award
Pretty much sums up the class of the Eagles.

really?
not just being biased, but I think the Eagles are pretty well regarded as one of the classier organizations out there. You can make the argument that perhaps the fans are dirt-bags (though I think the media over-hypes that stereotype too), but the Eagles franchise itself is like a well-oiled machine since Lurie and Reid took over.

I disagree
What is classy about giving Michael Vick a courage award? The history of fan behavior in Philadelphia is well known and hasn’t improved. Andy Reid is a good coach (not great) but until the Eagles actually win something, it’s hard to call them well oiled. In the meantime, you Phil trolls can always come over to the Cowboy blog where there are actually plenty of informed fans to chat with. Apparently your own blog is like your team, 2nd rate.

several of BTB’s biggest contributors are over at our site regularly. We’re all fans of the NFL and we have a lot more in common than not.
I haven’t said anything offensive, I’m just having a conversation…clearly you can’t handle that

I’ve never advocating banning anyone. How did you infer that? I can certainly handle anything you write. Or were you just making sure to totally avoided my original post where I said it is a poor reflection on the Beagles for naming Vick a courage award winner. It reflects on their lack of class. That’s very simple.
by StillHateTheGiants on Jan 2, 2010 9:19 AM CST up reply actions
has nothing to do with class
I’ve never met Vick. I know what he went through from the eyes of the media, but I have no idea if he has or has not shown courage in his personal life. I have no idea if he is deserving of an award. It’s easy for me (like you) to say that he is not…but I’d be judging a guy I’ve never met on a media reputation. I don’t like to do that.

We know enough about Vick to know any classy team doesn't give him a courage award
I understand it isn’t politically correct to “judge” another person. Sorry, the public record is enough for me. There is plenty of information about Vick going back to the time he was in college; his troubles didn’t start when he was convicted of felonies for the dog fighting. To sign a large contract and go back to the NFL does not show me courage. For you to try to defend giving him that award is absurd and shows you are either completely incapable of unbiassed thought or not very bright.
by StillHateTheGiants on Jan 2, 2010 1:16 PM CST up reply actions
You are utterly clueless
First off Vick didn’t get the same award as Decamillis, second the organization didn’t give it to him the players did. And I know you don’t want to go into your history of classless players.

Who claimed they both got the same award
And what does that say about the players? Both your points are irrelevent. The difference I see is, when Cowboy players act like knuckleheads most people here acknowledge and don’t condone it. When a beagle acts like a knucklehead, their teamates give them awards.

Prolly should have said you guys, cuz it wasn’t you.
And that sounds an awful lot like what happens when Eagles fans act like knuckleheads and when any other fan base acts like knuckleheads. Face it, Jerry won a SB with a team full of criminals, insulting the class of our organization is just stupid because you have more skeletons in your closet than anybody.

You are always welcome ..
as long as the host here approves your language. I am quite sure language is the biggest factor.
With that said, Eagles fans trolled here the entire week heading into the game at the Linc. Some of them cursing, and also some who were respectful with the language but at the same time trash talking. We fans here welcomed their comments and insight, but rebuted it with our own insight.
I went to the Philly site and forget about it! Right away “get out of here” .. cursing at me … “get your head out of your ass” … etc. They even took down my posts after the game at the Linc. Then when I defend my opinion with stats and trash talk back to them …. most of them were calling for my ban.
But as I said, you are welcome here, so long as the language is clean.

My point is ...
just how classy are the Eagles fans?? They can dish it but can not handle the heat!

I hate the generalizations
people are immature; people can’t ‘handle the heat’…
A person is no more or less mature, bad-natured, or the like because of their jersey colors on Sunday.
Yes, Philly has a reputation, but the media feeds it. Crap happens among fans in this league all over, but only gets reported in Philly to keep the story going.
There are a lot of rational people at BGN

I am sure there are
but the “one bad apple” is more like 4-5 bad apples, and they rally the others. Comon dude, you have a prison on site! You all cheered when Irvin went down, etc, etc.
I don’t know but Philly takes the prize. I love to hate McNabb, but I respect him because he is a great athlete, a great football player. Plenty of Eagles fans hate to hate … and like I said there … karma is a bitch.

I thought he was on a one year contract
If so, he’s not trade-able unless he agrees to a sign-and-trade or got franchised.
FREE THE OGLETREE!!!
team will pick up the option
it doesn’t cost much so it doesn’t detract from trade offers.

Vick's trade value can't be very high.
McNabb is still McNabb, and Kolb played well when he was out, so what wopuld they be hanging onto him for? A seventh round pick? Maybe? There’s no chance that Philly goes into next season with him on the roster, given his limited production and the seven figures owed to him in the second year of the deal.
I suspect he’ll ask to be let go and allowed to seek his own team as a free agent, and that Philly will accommodate him.
I think if you put two of my best seasons together it wouldn't come up with the numbers he's going to have at the end of the season. -Troy Aikman on Tony Romo
by Big D Bam Bam on Jan 2, 2010 7:51 AM CST up reply actions
maybe...
he’ll only be making $4.5M next year. You’re right, that’s too much for us to pay a backup QB, but it’s a GREAT salary for a starter, and it’s my opinion that there are one or two teams in the league that would bite for a pick in the first day of the draft. I’m not saying we’re getting a 1st or anything, but someone will want him.

Vick can't hit the side of a barn ...
standing 10 feet away. What makes you think he is “starter” material? … His bets days were in a run oriented offense and a ball control team. If he can get on a heavy run oriented team, with a good defense, then he can start. But not in a pass heavy offense, which unfortunately for him most of the NFL has become.

Look,
I’m not defending Vick as a great QB. I never thought he was. I just happen to think that in a business-controlled game, he will sell tickets, and he has had success at this level. I really do think someone will take a chance on him and trade for him.
Would I? Nope. But someone will, that’s all I’m saying.

Maybe ..
but I think its more likely a good team, like the Eagles or someone else, will use him in their wildcat sets … or a run heavy team will take a shot to control the game. … I could have seen him in Miami, but they got the kid from West Virginia. Possibly, Carolina takes him to be there “wildcat” QB. But who? Where do you think a team will trade for him?
by spadesking131313 on Jan 2, 2010 10:25 AM CST up reply actions
I couldn't even guess
I NEVER would have guessed that he’d have come to us in the first place. I could possibly see Seattle taking a gamble on him. I would also have guessed Miami, but Henne’s been playing well, and they have Pat White…
For all I know, we trade McNabb at years end while he has high value and move forward with Kolb and Vick

Ahhh I wouldn't trade McNabb ...
First off, I like having franchise guys play their entire careers with one team. It would be nice to see more players do that. But when a guy can’t perform at a high level anymore, then they need to hang it up or take a lesser role. … But what kinda message is that to the rest of the guys in the locker room? McNabb has almost single-handedly given the city of Philadelphia football fever, and just not a good move IMO.

Philly FO has a rep of being business-first though
IFRC, they’ve parted with a bunch of fan favorites once they hit around 30: Dawkins, Trotter, Bobby Taylor, Troy Vincent, etc.
You really are clueless
The only part you have right is that the NFL is a business and decisions are made based on that. Vick is toxic from a business stand point. If you are going to be toxic, you had better be really productive (see TO 3-5 years ago). Vick has never been a very good QB, certainly no where near good enough to overcome all his criminal baggage.
BTW, my apologies to TO for using him as a comparison to Michael Vick. For all the trouble he caused he was never a convicted felon.
by StillHateTheGiants on Jan 2, 2010 1:26 PM CST up reply actions
Vick isn’t toxic so much because of his off the field stuff, he is toxic because he sucks on it. He had one good game against an awful defense, and the rest of the year I have had to watch us waste downs every time he comes into the game. People forget after a week or two about the off the field stuff(Big Ben’s rape case, Larry Johnson’s homophobia, Jared Allen’s multiple DUI’s).
by You don't have to be sweet, to be good on Jan 2, 2010 1:42 PM CST up reply actions
Try reading an entire post before responding
He is toxic because he is a convicted felon and had a criminal history going back to his time in college. It is not forgiven because, as I said earlier, he’s not a very good QB.
by StillHateTheGiants on Jan 2, 2010 1:53 PM CST up reply actions
Big Ben's rape case was BS
and what Johnson and Allen did are not even close to the atrocious things that Vick did to those helpless dogs. Come on man.
How bout dem Frogs!!!!
I’m not defending what Vick did at all, what I am saying is that off the field issues just go away after a few weeks. Kobe is beloved now, Leonard Little killed a human and didn’t get the hate Vick did, Donte Stallworth and Plax will be back if they are productive. Vick isn’t toxic to sign because off the off the field stuff, he just isn’t nobody is. If he was a good player it wouldn’t be an issue at all. He is a terrible player however, and that is why nobody really wants him on their team. Fans will get over it, other than a few people with nothing better to do who stand outside the stadium with signs before games Vick really isn’t even discussed.
by You don't have to be sweet, to be good on Jan 2, 2010 2:09 PM CST up reply actions
Sad,but true.
If a player can still play all is forgiven. Kinda sucks don’t it. I agree that Vick is not worth much in trade, but your buddies at bgn seem to think he’s worth a 3rd or so. I just don’t see it.
How bout dem Frogs!!!!
I think we could get a 5th from a team who has multiple picks that round and needs a back up, but that is about it and I’d be ecstatic to get even that. Especially if we used it on somebody from Cincy(Celek and Cole were both 5th round picks from Cincy).
I’m the biggest Vick hater there is, I just don’t think having him on your team makes the organization classless. Every team has had good players who are bad people.

Yeah, Al Davis is still in the league
And maybe little Danny at Wash. I’m glad Dallas is set at QB because you never know what Jerry might do. Great owner but needs to fire the GM IMO.
How bout dem Frogs!!!!
Who knows in this league, my jaw almost hit the floor when I found out we signed Vick. I see either a 5th or a 6th for Vick if we trade him, he isn’t a good QB but he actually has improved our short yardage and goal line packages. We’ve had problems there and I know you guys have too. So he has made some contributions, just not worth taking McNabb of the field for.
by You don't have to be sweet, to be good on Jan 2, 2010 3:09 PM CST up reply actions
I think he's an obvious Raider
They run the ball and throw the deep ball. And Al probably thinks he has one more project in him.
No Vick got the Ed Block award
which we gave to Kosier…can u read?
Vick winning ANY award is a joke.
It makes you wonder what’s really going on over there. Did Vick have a hissy over playing time so they gave him an award to shut him up? I mean, come on. Micheal Vick, any award? What has he done?
DeCamillis, however, deserves more than just an award for what he’s done for this franchise. He deserves a raise, and promotion. The tough part of the promotion is he can’t be easily replaced in his current job, which is of great value to this team.
The tribulations of Winter...
90% of Americans say 'OH SHIT!' before going into the ditch on a slippery road.
The other 10% are from TEXAS and they say, 'HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS!!!'
The bar is set pretty low
Micheal Vick, any award? What has he done?
He’s managed to stay off the police report. That’s an accomplishment for him.

Let Columbo rest -- FREE is kicking butt!!!!
I say don’t mess with a good thing! Free has been making the highlight reels with his blocking — So let Columbo rest up, and don’t change ANYTHING in this winning formula!
I agree and I believe we wont see Colombo the rest of the season no matter how far we get..
Free is playing very well and Colombo is no where nears in playing shape…DC.com said the other day he hasn’t started jogging or running yet.
"Austin made the play, Austin saved the day" Brad Sham
Agreed,
I’ve been worried about this since I heard the first “Colombo to be back soon” report. He should be looked at as nothing but bonus depth. It’s time to move forward and young Doug Free is playing well and is the long term future at the position. Bringing back a 70% – 90% Marc Colombo is a definite downgrade at a crucial position.
Hide your dogs
Vick is coming to Dallas.

Clark Judge is wrong
Cole is a center first, a guard second, so he steps into his natural position
Cole played OG in high school, played guard most of his college career at New Mexico State and has played most of his extensive time that I can find at center for the Eagles. How can he say he’s a center first?

The D-line needs to stay in McNabb's face all day.
Ware and Spencer will harass on the outside, but if the inside rush can get after him it could make for a long day at Jerry World for McNabb. The Eagle’s O-line is hurting, I think Peters is the only starter from day one left standing. Peters is a good LT and Philly has done a good job of patchwork to keep the rest of the O-line serviceable, but I think the front seven of Dallas is better than anything they have faced lately.
How bout dem Frogs!!!!
Cole actually was picked up to be our back up center, but it probably isn’t his natural position because of how much guard he has played. Losing Jackson is huge, he should have been elected to the Pro Bowl.

Somebody has to shadow McNabb the entire game..I think Brookings would be
the perfect man for the job..and the secondary needs to whack Jackson at the line..DWare and Spence need to deal with Westbrook and Co.
Given the injury status of DAL
isn’t it time to bury once and for all the whole, ‘we don ’t tackle in TC/Practice’ nonsense. Except for NY and DEN, we’ve had one of our best-tackling Defenses in memory. And if it’s tied to our above average injury rate – so much the better.
I’ve been as critical of WP as anyone – but does this fly in the face of the ‘soft’ tag and demonstrate some practicality instead?
Always be more than you appear and never appear to be more than you are
The tackling over the last month has been very good...
with the exception of Terence Newman who has been atrocious.
