ARLINGTON -- Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne missed his second consecutive game because of hamstring and ankle injuries. Rookie Byron Jones started in his place.

After Thursday's 33-14 loss to Carolina, Claiborne said he'd be ready to go when the Cowboys travel to Washington on Dec. 7.

"Definitely," Claiborne said. "I feel like if this game was Sunday I would have been able to play. But just because it was a short week it was better to be safe."

How frustrating was it to sit and watch?

"It was very frustrating, especially when you go out there and you have no part of doing anything," Claiborne said.

Jones finished with two tackles and a team-high two pass breakups.

Just think, the Cowboys front office could of drafted Luke Kuechly. They went with this waste of a draft pick.

Don't need you stepping up now bro, season over. The time for that was 4 weeks ago

Btw, enjoy your last couple of games wearing the star, you are so gone next yeat

Let him test the market - like we should have done with Desmond.

I love how Dez got paid and all of a sudden he can't catch a cold in the Artic

You read my mind before I had a chance to put fingers to keyboard. Bravo!

 

[Tabascocat]

The trend of signing injury prone players needs to end now. Bye Mo, you can not be counted on!

 

[Wood]

sounds like contract year player keeping his name in headlines.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Don't even have to read article...."I'll be ready for Washington...to give up play after play, never looking back at the ball or making an attempt at it."

 

[SportsGuru80]

The Dez disrespect is ridiculous on this thread... Can't even stay on topic SMFH.

Now to THE TOPIC ITSELF, Mo Clai can hit the door as far as I'm concerned. We need acquire two taller/athletic faster CBs and let both Carr and Clai go!

 

[Jack Burton]

I've never been a fan of Mo, but he has improved somewhat. If the price is right, I'm ok with him coming back.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Claiborne has played decent this season. He won't command a big pay day so I see no reason why not to bring him back.

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Claiborne is beyond soft. He needs to go.

Go back and watch the NE game. Pitiful CB play. Other games not much better. I despise a CB who's afraid to tackle. Pass

 

[The Natural]

Season was on the line Thursday and you wanted to be "safe" lol. Your days are numbered

 

[perrykemp]

I think Claiborne will get one of the $5-7M/year deals you see every offseason where all sorts of average CBs move around from one team to anotherin the league.

I don't think the Cowboys are going to be the team to give him that contract.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

One of the biggest busts ever.

Claiborne talking now is like a scratched record......if Kirk Cousin lights him up....expect a grab of the hamstring.

He was playing pretty well after coming back from a very severe patella injury and two suspect knees. The kid has talent and was starting to gain confidence. When he was drafted our biggest need was CB and we took him thinking he would be a difference maker. then we had him play in zone most of the time when he is a man to man corner. Not all of his shortcomings have been his own doing. As coaches they are supposed to put these kids in the best position possible to succeed.
