Cowboys vs. Eagles: Final Injury Report

by Dave Halprin on Dec 23, 2011 4:30 PM CST in Dallas Cowboys News

The mystery around Felix Jones' status due to a hamstring injury remains. The Cowboys starting running back didn't practice all week and is officially listed as questionable in the final injury report. Jerry Jones said he'd be surprised if Felix didn't play, and the organization may be just taking every precaution to have him healthy on Saturday. But the Cowboys did protect themselves by making a roster move.

The Cowboys released offensive lineman Daniel Loper to make room for running back Chauncey Washington on the 53-man roster. This is the third time Loper has been released since he signed with the Cowboys on Oct. 18. The Cowboys promoted Washington from the practice squad because of Felix Jones’ questionable status. Jones has not practiced all week due to a hamstring strain, meaning that 12-year veteran Sammy Morris will probably play a much larger role than anticipated when the Cowboys signed him less than two weeks ago.

I liked the way Morris looked last week in a reserve role, but here's to hoping the Cat is ready to go (especially if the Giants lose earlier in the day).

The other injuries highlights: Dallas will be without Andre Holmes and Josh Price-Brent as expected. DeMarcus Ware, Mike Jenkins, Jay Ratliff and Laurent Robinson are questionable but seem likely to play. Danny McCray and Kevin Ogletree are also questionable. The Eagles will be without Assante Samuel.

“Assante Samuel” Good one

No Samuel

Means that might have change their game plan a bit…perhaps a good thing for Miles to be lined up across from Hanson

by Rummob on Dec 23, 2011 4:55 PM CST reply actions

It would be DRC. Hanson covers the slot.

Biased..

Just like every other media outlet they have a bias against Cowboys players.

QB..they had Rogers, Brees and Manning and the fourth as Ryan of Atlanta..

Romo has a higher QB rating than Manning or Ryan, more TD’s and less ints., a better completion percentage, a better ypa than Ryan and equal to Manning.

I used to like these guys but it just turns out they are as ignorant as most of the media. It is a wonder they didn’t mention Cabo or Jessica Simpson.

do those "street whores" really lie?

you mean the ones that are 6’ 5" & look more like a linebacker really aren’t telling the truth or the sexy ones with festering bumps are really clean drug free hard working people?

Every team has a great gameplan until they get Punched in the Mouth. Sean Lee is a welcomed addition at ILB & Kegabear's prediction about Spencer looks spot on so far.

Just read on NFL.Com that Jones was running and making cuts on the field yesterday. Not practicing with the team, but getting a good feel in how his hammy is going to be.

Fleix is so Fragile

Every time he touches the ball I watch to see if he gets up after the tackle….Pretty much the same issue with Jenkins making a tackle. But for him it is only this season.

On the same train of thought I wonder who would return from injury first if Jenkins tackled Jones???

by Rummob on Dec 24, 2011 1:18 AM CST reply actions

Jenkins really did a nice job covering this season & one of those injuries from that POS Wr for the jets

Burress decleated Jenkins when he caught him with his head turned. all the rules against the defense & Wrs can be more physical then DBs. thats kinda sad they took the fear out of WRs coming over the middle & basically has changed the safety position.

…but the man is constantly injured.

The NFC East has won 11 Super Bowls; oddly none of those have come courtesy of the Eagles.
