Report: Witten No Doubt Will Play Against Birds..

[Pick6TerenceNewman]

According to Cowboys beat writer Tim MacMahon, "there's no doubt" that Jason Witten will play Sunday at Philadelphia.

Coach Wade Phillips took a more cautious approach in Monday's presser, but Witten seems like a virtual lock to line up at game time. Keep an eye on practice updates, however, as Witten's effectiveness will be in question at Philly.

The guy is a warrior.

Witten need to play a big part if the Cowboys are to win.

He's beat up. You know he's gonna play though. Barber needs to sit most of the game. In fact I wish they had activated Coleman the last two games. He needs the experience if we get another RB injury.

Maybe Barber is going to play better this weekend. Witten will bring it though.

I don't think Barber will play.

I don't think Barber will play.

he better cause if he doesn't that might be his last chance to play this year. everybody should be playing including Holland.

Witten is about the only thing that gives me hope.

Doesn't say a whole lot about your faith in the team to pin victory on a guy with a bad knee, ankle and ribs.

I dont blame you, but he is the why we will win or lose. Its #9.

I'm not surprised that Witten is playing but I think we will see a bigger dose of Bennett in the passing game

if only witten wasn't made of glass. at least he can sort of counter it with extreme toughness.

Made of glass? Wow, people on here.........How many games has this guy missed in his career - how many years have we even talked about him being injured? Idiots I tell ya!


What is the status of HOlland - that is the biggest key to our offense come Sunday IMO.

Made of Glass? are you kidding

 

[zeroburrito]

he gets injured ALL the time. he's made of glass. loose muscles or something.

being made of glass has nothing to do with how long the person stays out. being made of glass means you get injured easily. witten is the toughest guy in the nfl, but he is made of glass. imagine how good he would be if he didn't have to play through horrible injuries.

 

[aikemirv]

You must be like 8 years old and this is your first season watching him play!

He gets injured because he takes big hits he then gets up and continue to play. This is not Madden football it is the real deal there are many players around the league currently playing with injuries it is part of the game but Witten made of glass is a joke there is no tougher SOB in the NFL right now and anyone with half a brain would realize that

I thought the prognosis for Holland wasn't very good. I know he has been like MB3 and not practicing either this week.

....i never said he wasn't tough.

I was extremely surprised that Coleman wasn't active against the Ravens. Barber has been a game time decision for the last few games, so having a third running back active would only seem logical to me.

 

[zeroburrito]

barber has lost it. he must be extremely hurt. i bet jerry is mad after paying him all that money while choice is running better than he ever did.

 

[Doomsday101]

No you said he was made of glass so I would guess every player in the league is made of glass because right now the vast majority are currently playing with some type of injury. As a TE he is taking the big hits he is having guys roll up the back of his legs as he blocks and injuries as it is for most players are going to take place and he is playing through the injury
