|
| Pat Watkins has been placed on injured reserve which ends his season, according to the Dallas Morning News. This roster move will clear a spot for Adam Jones to join the 53-man roster following his suspension. |
Our View: Watkins only had 21 total tackles this year and didn't have any fantasy value in IDP leagues. |
|
|
|
| Marion Barber may wear a plate on the bottom of his foot to stabilize his dislocated right pinkie toe, but expects to play Sunday at Pittsburgh, according to the Dallas Morning News. |
Our View: He will likely be held out or limited in practice through the week, but it appears that he will be ready for Sunday. Rookie Tashard Choice would be the top candidate to replace Barber if he is unable to go. |

|
| Adam Jones is ready to return to active duty with the Cowboys, according to the Dallas Morning News. He will return punts and possibly kickoffs, as well as being employed in sub-packages in the secondary. Coach Wade Phillips said, "He's ready to go. He wants to play. He's attentive. He's at the meetings early. He's asking questions. As a football player, he's done all the right things since he's been with us."
|
Our View: The Cowboys are playing well again and hopefully Jones won't disrupt their positive flow. As a fantasy performer, he only holds value in leagues that award points for individual return yardage on special teams. |

|
| Tony Romo is no longer sporting a splint on his healing right pinkie, according to the Dallas Morning News. |
Our View: Romo has fired three scoring strikes in each of his last two outings and looks to be a safe fantasy option the rest of the way. |
|
|
|
| Marion Barber is day-to-day while nursing his dislocated right pinkie toe sustained on Thanksgiving Day against the Seahawks, according to the Dallas Morning News. |
Our View: Coach Wade Phillips noted that Barber may not practice all week, and is yet to speculate on his playing status for Week 14 at Pittsburgh. |
|
|
|
| DeMarcus Ware remains day-to-day after hyperextending his left knee on Thanksgiving Day against Seattle, according to the Dallas Morning News. |
Our View: Coach Wade Phillips expects Ware to practice at some point this week, with the aid of a knee brace. The elite pass rusher has notched 15 sacks this season. |
