Felix Jones' slim chances of playing Sunday didn't improve today. He's not practicing again.

At this point, it'd be stunning if Jones played against the Commanders. The risk of aggravating his hamstring injury, which might end his season, isn't justified by the potential reward a speed back with a bad wheel can provide. Plus, it's asking an awful lot of a rookie to play in a game with major playoff implications after practicing once in the previous month.

LB Bobby Carpenter (groin) and WR Isaiah Stanback (unknown) are also sitting out practice.

Man, what is wrong with Stanback?

This could be fluff. For all we know, Jones could be 100% and we are trying to keep him out of the Commanders mind in regard to game planning. Think about it, you can cover Barber out of the backfield with a LB and get away with it, If you cover Jones with a LB, you will lose the game.

I'm hoping, really hoping, that this is all just really smoke screens by Dallas and that Jones is not only going to play but play significant time.

Carpenter Out, Too

Linebacker Bobby Carpenter said his strained groin has been feeling better and that he hopes to play on Sunday against the Commanders. He was, however, held out of practice for the second consecutive day on Thursday.
If he's unable to go against the Commanders, his impact will mostly be felt on special teams where he plays on just about every unit.

I really hope that is the case, I really do.

Not surprised. You never know the exact timetable with a hamstring injury. He could be done for the year.

Man, what is wrong with Stanback?

He's suffering from a bad case of, "I don't know why I'm still on this team"-itis.

Man, what is wrong with Stanback?

You mean, other than he sucks?

Man, what is wrong with Stanback?

Wade said his shoulder popped out of socket again... They're going to see if it calms down like last time and he can play with it. Said he doesn't know if IS will need surgery or not.

 

[dbair1967]

no reason to rush him back, especially in a game at a stadium where the field may be an issue...if its really slick or tore up any, he could easily re-injure his hammy and be gone for the rest of the yr...there's nothing wrong with holding him out another week to make sure he is 100%, then have him for two games in 4 days at Texas Stadium

 

[webby75216]

He will not be back until Pittsburgh is my prediction

 

[30yrheel]

if it was partially torn he won't be 100% this year

 

[Teague31]

a damn shame.
