Its crunch time in the NFL. The Cowboys are struggling to win their division, the only way they can make the playoffs. But look at their injury report, 14 guys are listed with only 4 fully participating in practice. 3 offensive linemen are limited. do you think this effects the way they play on Sundays? Do it effect execution? I guess its not all hands on deck just yet.
The Rams injury report lists 3 guys 2 of whom limited or did not practice.

In three seasons under Campo, the list was loaded with muscle pulls and other aches and pains. Through Parcells' first 12 practices, only three made the list, all for legitimate reasons.
Bryant missed a morning workout because he was in Dallas for surgery to remove bone chips from his left pinky. He practiced that afternoon.
Receiver Randal Williams missed three sessions to be with his wife for the birth of their first child.
Defensive end Darrell Wright, an undrafted rookie, broke a bone in his left hand one morning and rode a bike alongside the field that afternoon while wearing a cast.
"When you see guys taking the day off for whatever reason, it makes you think, 'Hey, maybe I can get a day someday.' We don't have that attitude now," linebacker Dexter Coakley said. "That's going to help us become champions."
