A game of chase with Barber
As you probably already know, Pro Bowl running back Marion Barber rarely talks to the media. But now we really need him to say something. He's dealing with a dislocated right pinkie toe, so we're trying to report how he's feeling and if he will be ready Sunday against the Steelers.
Barber popped in the locker room briefly on Monday. So the chase started as did his playful back-and-forth around the locker area...
Q: Marion, how's the toe doing?
A: "I don't know, how's your toe doing?"
Q: Marion, how'd it happen?
A: "How'd what happen? I have amnesia, I don't know what you're talking about."
This is what we deal with "talking" with Barber. Now, that leaves us to having to observe to see how he's doing. Actually, he did say he would not wear the walking boot the athletic training staff gave him to help protect and keep pressure off his toe.
Barber did not walk with a limp, but I did notice he would not put weight on his right foot while messing with stuff in his locker. His right shoe was loosened and untied and when I pointed it out to him, he untied the other shoe.
Barber did not practice Monday and may not practice all week, but is still expected to play. Just don't ask him.

Ware feeling good?
Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware appears to be in good spirits, despite dealing with an injured left knee. We spotted him in the training room Monday afternoon getting treatment. While sitting on the training table, Ware laughed as media members teased with running back Marion Barber.
Ware flashed his big smile and got in a hearty laugh. He didn't practice on Monday but is expected to return at some point this week. The Cowboys will sorely need his pass rush ability in the four-game run that starts with the Steelers on Sunday.
Ware leads the NFL with 15 sacks, which is a single-season career high for the playmaker. It is the most sacks in a season by a Cowboy since Randy White had 16 in 1978. The team record was set a year earlier in 1977 by Harvey Martin with 23. Can Ware break the team record? He has four games to go.
