Receiver Miles Austin was running full speed, making cuts and catching plenty of footballs during the open portion of practice today at Valley Ranch. I'm no doctor, but Austin looks like he'll be ready to go this Monday.

Also, for anyone worried about Marion Barber's rib cage, you'll be glad to know he was running around with no apparent extra protection (like rib pads).

Linebacker Anthony Spencer and cornerback Terence Newman are also on the practice field today. As for whether they'll be 100 percent come Monday, we'll have to find out later.

Just call him Rocky Romo

Tony Romo finds all the talk about his toughness kind of funny.

Jason Witten raved Sunday evening about Romo getting up after Willie McGinest opened a gash on his chin and connecting with Witten for a key third-down conversion the next play. Jean-Jacques Taylor wrote a column for this morning's SportsDay cover about that moment giving Romo credibility.

Romo smirked when asked whether he considered that a big moment.

"I just threw a ball," he said in his normal aw-shucks style. "I don't put much stock into it. You can either see a guy and throw it to him or you can't."

Yeah, given the fact that he was knocked woozy seconds earlier, he might have seen three of Witten at the time. Playing along, Romo worked in a movie reference that folks in Philly should appreciate.

"Hit the one in the middle," he said. "Got some Rocky in here."


FROM FWST BLOG:
Wednesday practice update
Receiver Miles Austin has returned to practice and appears to be running full speed without any limitations from his left knee injury. Linebacker Anthony Spencer has also returned to practice and as expected Marion Barber is working out despite the injury to his ribs.

Austin, who was wearing a knee brace, looked impressive running routes.

Spencer not sure if he can play Monday
Cowboys OLB Anthony Spencer plans to return to practice Wednesday afternoon for the first time since the week before the preseason opener. He is coming off minor knee surgery and will likely workout on a limited basis. Spencer didn't sound too confident about being able to play Monday night against the Eagles.

Spencer doesn't seem too upbeat about his status: "I've been better."

- Rick Herrin

Austin returning today
Cowboys receiver Miles Austin said he will return to practice this afternoon. Austin still doesn't know if he will be able to play on Monday but the chances are increasing. Austin is coming off a sprained MCL suffered Aug. 16.

"I'm just going try to and have a good practice today," Austin said. "I am taking it day-by-day."

Austin was able to run on Monday and said his knee is progressing well.

It is crazy to think how dominant we were last week and we were missing three VERY VERY quality players! I bet Austin plays Monday night and just torches the Eagles D. As for Newman, unless he is 100% (which I doubt he will be) I say just dress him and sit him unless it turns out we really need him. I don't see Spencer playing the way things have been going.

I think I'm more excited about Austin's return. It will be tough for the Iggles to match up defensively against our offense: Romo, TO, Witten, Barber, Jones, Miles, Bennett. Who do they cover?

The downside is Johnson prepares his defense well. It will be all about applying pressure to Romo, something Cleveland couldn't do except for a play or two. If they don't get pressure, Romo will pick them apart.

I don't expect the Philthy WRs to have the same game they had last week. Newman will play. Even at 85%, he can shut down their best WR.

I anticipate a 24-17 Cowboys win.

That is excellent to hear. I'm so hoping he can come in and contribute nicely to our offense Monday night.

Excuse the large pics, but it's the best way to see the blood.

That only leaves 4 lineman. Bigg's gunna have to take two gaps.

Nope. FOX didn't want to gross anyone out.

I didn't mean at one time Trick. Thanks for displaying your mathematical capabilities.

I kind of suspected all along that Miles and Tnew are farther ahead than Spence. He's coming off surgery for crying out loud: that's not easy: unless you've done it before and know what to expect: like Burnett.
