Key Injuries on Offense:

Romo - Back

Witten - Ankle, Ribs

Roy Williams - Foot

Barber - Foot/Toe

Holland - Ankle

Austin - Knee

Some or all of the above may play against the Eagles. But, keep in mind, if they do play, they will not be 100% (or even close it in some cases). They will be playing, injured (and in my mind, there is a huge difference between playing hurt, playing through pain, and playing, injured.)

That being the case, it makes it even more critical that the defense step up and stop McNabb and Westbrook. Washington did a great job of keying off Westbrook to stop the Eagles Offense. Only 3 points for them in that game. We need to pull a page from their defensive playbook, and try to do the same.

With our offense as banged up as it is, I just don't see us going into Philly, on the road, and being able to outscore them. Or score a lot of points.

The defense will have to get it done for us this time.

Go Cowboys!!!
