We'll have a better idea whether that's realistic after Jason Witten gets an MRI on his injured ribs tomorrow.

The diagnosis now is that Witten has bruised ribs, which he suffered after making a catch in the first quarter. Witten, who has been playing with a sore shoulder since the second week of the season, returned for the first series of the second half.

"I tried to doctor it up a little bit at halftime and come back, but I didn't have it in me," Witten said. "It's an unfortunate situation to have to come out of the game, because you pride yourself in playing the game. I just didn't have it."

Rookie Martellus Bennett filled in for Witten, catching three passes for 21 yards.

Witten is a always key part of the offense, but he's especially important with Brad Johnson at quarterback. Everybody knows Johnson needs a good checkdown target, and Witten's blocking is a big part of the running game.

It must have hurt like hell. Witten is tough as nails, one of the toughest players in the league.

Bennett would play well in Witten's absence shold he not play. Witten is a leader on this team, and it would be nice to have for such a key game.

We are really going to get pounded if JW doesn't play. BJ is a serious liability as the QB....he needs to retire....everything else aside, his accuracy is horrible.
