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.
