ARLINGTON (105.3 THE FAN) – Mike Jenkins’ return to action for the Dallas Cowboys was supposed to include a Thursday trip to Florida in order to get medical clearance from Dr. James Andrews.

Instead, sources tell 105.3 The Fan, the former cornerback starter spent Wednesday following a different path: Up and down the stairsteps at Cowboys Stadium and in and out of a check-up in North Texas that he and his surgically repaired right shoulder passed – freeing him to return to the practice field this week.

First must come the CBA-mandated three-day waiting period … and then quite possibly can come Jenkins’ participation in next Wednesday’s Cowboys-at-Giants NFL season-opener.

Jenkins’ change in travel plans may involve Tropical Storm Isaac, which is causing problems throughout the Gulf Coast. Or it may simply be a change of heart, with Jenkins – who reportedly spent part of the offseason wishing to be traded from a Dallas team that acquired new starting corners in top rookie Mo Claiborne and pricy free agent Brandon Carr – re-investing himself with his team...

Of course! :rolleyes: That must have been a grueling offseason he went thru. I bet he's ready to step right in ... God I'm beginning to hate this guy and I live in his hometown.

Cowboys cornerback Mike Jenkins (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/11259/mike-jenkins), who had offseason shoulder surgery, was cleared to practice by Dr. James Andrews and team doctors this week.

Jenkins couldn't get to Pensacola, Fla., to visit Andrews because of Hurricane Isaac, but team officials sent medical information for Andrews to review.

With Jenkins getting taken off the physically unable to perform list on Wednesday night, it means the Cowboys' cornerbacks right now are Brandon Carr (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/11363/brandon-carr), Morris Claiborne (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14943/morris-claiborne), Orlando Scandrick (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/11366/orlando-scandrick) and Jenkins.
