Wade Phillips anticipates that he'll have all 53 players on the roster available for the Commanders game.

RB Felix Jones hasn't practiced since partially tearing his hamstring in the loss to the Cardinals, but that's expected to change Monday. Phillips said Jones ran six 200-meter dashes without any problem and was held out of practice the last couple days as a precautionary measure.

CB Terence Newman (sports hernia surgery) has practiced without any problems this week. He's penciled in as the starting left cornerback. He has been eased back into the lineup as a nickel/dime back when returning from previous injuries, but "we think we've gotten through it this time," Phillips said.

LT Flozell Adams sat out the last two days to nurse a finger that has been infected. (It's all that puss and gooey stuff that kind of squirts out," Phillips said.) He isn't expected to miss any games. Same goes for RG Leonard Davis, who has a sprained foot and didn't practice today. LG Kyle Kosier (foot) has practiced the last two days and appears ready to go.

Oh, and Phillips said Tony Romo looked a little rusty in his first full practice after returning from a fractured pinkie finger, but he looked better today and isn't having any trouble gripping the ball.

For once in your life, Tim MacMahon, I hope you're right. :crossed:

Awesome!

Six 200m dashes? Excellent!

So I guess the PC was early today? :confused:

A question for any medically minded, medically knowledgeable posters.

He has a partially torn hamstring. Does that mean that while he's been sitting that the tear has healed or is he playing still with a tear but it's rested enough for him to play? :confused:

was a grade 1 tear which is commonly called a pulled hamstring

It is very small and heals in a few weeks

He should be healed all the way

A hamstring tear will not completely heal until after the season. However, with sufficient treatment and care it is unlikely he would do any more damage to it than already exists. (unlikely, but not impossible)

Add to this the fact that I think something is wrong in Washington. There are starting to revert back to the way they played earlier this year, in preseason and first game.

Please check if Romo can take a snap from center BEFORE game day...

He said Tony took snaps fine today. Said in two days of practice there was only one mishandled snap from him.
