IRVING, Texas – Friday’s practice gave a lot of reason for optimism on the defense prior to a Sunday night contest against the Saints.
Linebacker Rolando McClain (groin) and defensive tackles Terrell McClain (concussion) and Henry Melton (hamstring) were all on the practice field for the first time this week.
Melton and Terrell McClain both played last weekend against the Rams. Melton fought through the hamstring issue all game. Rolando McClain missed last weekend’s game, but he’s still second on the team in tackles.
The Cowboys already got Justin Durant back earlier this week. The addition of Rolando McClain would give them their full arsenal at linebacker. Head coach Jason Garrett said he was hopeful Rolando McClain would be able to do something by the end of the week, but if he got on the field, it would be in a limited fashion.
Defensive end Anthony Spencer wasn’t on the field after practicing two straight days for the first time this year, but the off day was part of the plan in getting him ready for Sunday. Spencer said he’ll make his 2014 debut this weekend, and the coaches have hinted at that all week.
“He’s had a couple of good days, but we’ve got to see how he responded to that work and see how he feels over the next couple of days,” said head coach Jason Garrett. “We want to be very mindful of where he’s been and how long it’s been since he’s played football. He’s worked very hard to get back. He’s had a good week, but again, we’ve just to see how he feels over the next 48 hours.”

I'm very happy getting LB Rolando McClain and LB Durant back. But at the same time, I really want to also see more of LB Hitchens out there. He seemed to have taken a big step last Sunday and I think he is going to grow into a very fine player for us.

I thought Melton had a groin problem, not a hamstring problem.

I think Hitchens will see some playing time in this game

I can't tell you how freaking bad I want Dallas to kick the Saints ***. Surrounded by these bandwagon Saints fans down here who don't even understand the game, but still run around screaming "Who Dat?"

Please...

Ro McClain makes this a different D. I hope he can stay healthy and not be in and out of the lineup. We need some consistency in order to develop some chemistry and identity.

J-Jeezy may want the same thing. That's probably why he's throwing all their tails out there:starspin:

Lots of good news here.

And just in time. They'll need all hands on deck against that Saints offense.
