Colombo Might Be Able To Return

Right tackle Marc Colombo has a high ankle sprain and a fractured fibula in his left leg, which is expected to put him out at least six weeks.
If the Cowboys qualify for the playoffs, there's a chance he could return, a team trainer said. The high ankle sprain, which Colombo is undergoing surgery on today, is similar to the one Terrell Owens suffered while with the Eagles in 2004, but was able to rehab from and return in time for Philadelphia's appearance in the Super Bowl.
The fractured fibula is expected to heal on its own in roughly six weeks.
More on Colombo's status in Wade Phillips' 12:45 p.m. (CST) press conference on DallasCowboys.com.
Buehler Bothered By Toe Injury

If the injuries weren’t enough from Sunday’s game, now it appears that kicker David Buehler has a bruised pinky toe on his right foot. He suffered the injury while covering a punt.
Head coach Wade Phillips said the team is aware of the injury, which occurred when the rookie was stepped on during the play.
Buehler was noticeably limping in the locker room on Monday and said it’s a painful injury. There’s a good chance he could have an MRI to check for a fracture.
While Buehler is right-footed, he said the injury would’ve been worse on his left plant foot.
If for some reason he doesn’t play, the Cowboys would at least have Nick Folk to handle the kickoffs.
