Cowboys Injury Report: DeMarcus Ware Nursing Sore Back

Not exactly the news you want to see coming out of Valley Ranch. DeMarcus Ware wasn't practicing today, at least for the part the media saw. Ware had back spasms during the Patriots game and aggravated it at the end of the game.

Ware played through the discomfort, but he was shaken up after the Patriots' winning touchdown, aggravating his back on the ensuing extra point.

So far this doesn't sound like anything too serious, but that's just for now. We'll see how he progresses during the rest of the week. This may be just a 'veteran rest day' for a nagging but non-serious injury.

Also not practicing were Felix Jones, Jason Hatcher and Derrick Dockery. Felix is likely missing 2-4 weeks. Both Tony Fiametta and David Buehler dressed.

And guess who was taking the first-string snaps at left guard. None other than Montrae Holland. Of course, that was just during the media-viewed session at the beginning. I still would guess Kevin Kolwaski will get the first shot at starting on Sunday.
