Do you shut Felix Jones down?
Felix Jones' hamstring is healed. Now he has another undisclosed problem. With six games remaining, do you shut Jones down for the rest of the season?
It's a difficult decision because the Cowboys need Jones' speed on special teams and on offense. Looking at the big picture here you don't want to rush him back and risk getting him hurt again.
If Pacman Jones comes back from suspension you have a player who can return kicks, though he was below average on punt returns when he was here.
Felix Jones is part of the future of this franchise and with so much on the line, does Wade Phillips put him on the field this season?

Tim MacMahon E-mail News tips
Felix Jones was limited during today's practice, and Wade Phillips said it's premature to think that the rookie RB will play Sunday.
"We'll just see," Phillips said. "I don't know. I didn't get a good feel that he would or wouldn't."
Phillips said Jones' hamstring isn't the only issue. There are some "other things that came up during his rehab, but we're working on those, too."
Phillips acknowledged that it's possible that Jones could be held out of the next two games to make sure he's completely healthy once he returns to game action.
Doesn't sound like Felix is coming back this week
FWST Blog:
Fans better hold off on their excitement of seeing Felix Jones back in action Sunday vs. the 49ers. Despite returning to practice Wednesday for the first time since his Oct. 12 injury, Jones may be on the shelf for a little while longer.
Jones suffered a partial left hamstring tear and other injury problems (not his knee) have developed that the athletic trainers are working on. He was limited in practice and head coach Wade Phillips didn't sound too confident he would be back this week. Holding Felix out past Thanksgiving is a possibility.
Here is Wade on Felix....
Q:How did he look?
"Felix was limited today and we'll just see."
Q: Think he will be available Sunday?
"I don't know. I didn't get a good feel that he would, or wouldn't.
Q: Is he dealing with more injuries than the hamstring?
"There are some other things that came up during his rehab. We're working on those too."
Q: Chance you keep him limited or held out until after Thanksgiving?
"All those things are possibilities certainly. Depending on his injury and what he could do with it."
