Barber has swollen bursa sac in left knee
January, 11, 2010

IRVING, Texas -- Cowboys running back Marion Barber, who had only three carries in the wild card win over the Eagles, reinjured his left knee.
According to a source, Barber has a swollen bursa sac in the left knee.
In the regular-season finale vs. the Eagles, Barber suffered a bruised knee. It didn't bother him again until a few days before the playoff game where he was limited in practice.
The Cowboys expect Barber, who had an MRI on Monday morning, to be limited again this week as they prepare for the divisional game against the Vikings.
Also, backup running back Tashard Choice left the playoff game with an undisclosed injury. A source tells ESPN's Matt Mosley that Choice didn't suffer another concussion.
A team source tells ESPNDallas that Choice is fine.
It will be interesting to see if the team goes with Felix Jones as the starter this week with both their backs a little nicked up.

Looks like we might get a chance to see what our "WOW" can do from the starter role. Maybe we'll see another Austin/KC performance as our true RB starter steps up to the plate.
This is not a Barber bash, I just like him as a closer/punisher. I see alot of yards left on the field in the early part of the games due to lack of speed or burst.
