Owens, Newman among Cowboys inactive for regular-season finale

[JBS]

IRVING, Texas -- Wide receiver Terrell Owens and cornerback Terence Newman were among four Dallas starters declared inactive Friday for the Cowboys' final regular-season game at Washington.

Backup safety Patrick Watkins (ankle) will also sit out the mostly meaningless game for Cowboys, who have clinched home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs.

Wide receiver Terry Glenn, whose has missed every game this season with a right knee injury, was listed as probable.

Center Andre Gurode (knee) and nose tackle Jay Ratliff (knee) are inactive along with Owens (ankle) and Newman (knee). Owens has not practiced this week as Dallas wants to rest his sprained ankle before its first playoff game.

I hope Alan Ball can get some reps-would like to see how he is.

It's going to be interesting seeing Courtney Brown, Alan Ball, Carpenter, Stanback, McQuistan and maybe Doug Free.

This game could get ugly.

They are all backup's for a reason

very poignant, but playoff team's backups are usually backups so that they could start in a pinch should starters get injured

Exactly. they are pro's and are in the NFL for a reason. if a starter goes down, they should fill in no matter what

It goes right up there with "championship teams don't call off the dogs"

Ugly!! For the Foreskins maybe. I think all the nay sayers are gonna be suprised at how well we play and win on sunday... I'm prolly the only one on the board seeing this but I truely believe we'll win the game with alot of our backups playing. We are deep and our backup are very good...

with the aggressive style of running outside the skins use, the power stuff Alan ball had better watch out when he is or if he is lined up outside.

Sellers may kill ball if he hits him straight up.

i hope our defense plays well.

this statement is out right crazy,no way in hell your backups come in and beat the skins in there yard in a must win to make the playoffs..what folks are leaving out is my Commanders have been playing with backups for awhile now...we have backup Lb,safety,DL,OL,AND QB..DONT LEAVE THAT OUT!!

Would that be that they're (for the most part) rookies on a #1 seed?
