Cowboys injury update
IRVING, Texas (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys say left tackle Marc
Colombo, linebacker Bradie James, running back Felix Jones,
cornerback Terence Newman did not practice yesterday, but they're
likely to play Sunday against Green Bay.
Colombo (back), James (knee), Jones (ankle) and Newman (ribs)
could practice today.
Left guard Kyle Kosier, who missed the last game with an ankle
injury, went through a full practice and is expected to start.
Kick returner Akwasi Owusu-Ansah has a high ankle sprain and
will miss several games. Brian McCann likely will be promoted from
the practice squad to take over that role and add depth at
cornerback with Newman playing in pain.
The Cowboys have a roster spot open because Tuesday they
released linebacker Jason Williams, a third-round pick in 2009. He
also was their first pick that draft.
Of the 12 guys in that draft class, kicker David Buehler and
backup linebacker Victor Butler are the only contributors. Stephen
McGee is the backup quarterback and tight end John Phillips is on
injured reserve.
