Twitter: Claiborne and McClain to practice/Malena to be waived

[WoodysGirl]

@fishsports: Claiborne: 'I am expecting to practice today and I am looking forward to it.' #cowboys @1053thefan

@ddavison Morris Claiborne (sore right knee) intends to practice this afternoon. So does Rolando McClain, who declined to specify his injury. #Cowboys

"@toddarcher: Cowboys will waive/injured RB Ben Malena. Reverts to IR if not claimed."

When I first read the subject I thought it said Claiborne to be waived.... and I didn't even care.

"@KavnerDC: Carr returned yesterday after his mother's passing, was at walkthru today. He was very appreciative of the team for its support throughout"

"@DMN_George: Jason Garrett said he anticipates rookie S Ahmad Dixon practicing today."

Im guessing we are aigning that back we brought in

 

[casmith07]

I feel bad for Ben Malena. But hopefully we can put him on IR.

As for Ahmad Dixon, that was good to hear at the presser. I think he's got a spot on this team and will contribute.

Between Williams Dunbar and randle there just isn't much room for malena. Randle and Williams impressed me.

 

[cowboyschmps3]

Nevermind just saw on dc.com they expected too sign him

Garrett was raving about him. Sounds like he made the team for certain.

I think that also sews up the RB position, and I think we'll go long at RB. Ryan Williams looks very impressive, and Randle looks to have improved.

Dunbar is a favorite of the staff, too, and obviously there's Murray.

I'm looking forward to seeing Ro McClain get out there. I'm expecting some rust, but come game time v. SF, we should be able to see what he can do.

I can't wait to see Ryan Williams behind this starting O-line. I think that man's on a mission.

This. I think he's bigger than Randle too. I'm not sure how good of a blocker he is. And does he have soft hands? I like how he runs though.

I would like to go 4 deep at RB as well. I think they can all contribute whether it be special teams or special packages.

Liked how he ran, but he did get beat in pass protection once, which led to a sack.

Williams doesn't play special teams. Never has. It's one of biggest reasons he remains a long shot. A backup RB just has to play special teams. I'm not sure Randle does either. You definitely cannot keep two backup RBs that don't contribute on special teams.

Good to see McClain is practicing. I hope that kid turns it around.

Randle had a STs tackle. If they do keep a fourth they likely wouldn't activate one. Whoever is hurt or Williams.

I thought he was re-re-retiring!

 

[TheRomoSexual]

I suspect we'll see a much different defense with Carr, Claiborne, Melton, and the two McClains.

That is a pretty safe assumption.
