The Cowboys had a host of players not practicing on Wednesday, but did get back two pieces that they needed. Miles Austin and Tony Fiammetta practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday. That's great news. On the not-so-great news side, DeMarcus Ware didn't practice because of his neck, although the early bets would be on him playing. Probably just resting an injury but with all intentions of playing. Also missing was Laurent Robinson, hurt in the last game but did return to play. We'll have to see more on his status later in the week.
The Giants are also dealing with plenty of injury issues, too. The full report below.
