IRVING, Texas -- Anthony Spencer's pectoral strain could keep him out of a second straight game, and defensive coordinator Rob Ryan isn't sure the Dallas Cowboys starting outside linebacker will be able to play anytime soon.

"That's a longer injury than people realize," Ryan said. "It's up to a six-week injury, I've heard, or even longer. That's a big thing. He's working hard every day, but he's just going to have to get well. Once he is, we'll play him, but if he's not, we obviously can't do it even though the kid wants to play. We just can't do it."
