there has been a lot of back and forth on his status. Not saying that the situation has been put to bed, but this is the latest and greatest

Lee, who is second on the team with 93 total tackles, suffered a pulled left hamstring during Dallas' game against theNew Orleans Saints on Nov. 10. He had been projected to miss three or four weeks, but he increased his rehab in an effort to rejoin the team sooner.

Jones confirmed on his twice-a-week radio show on KRLD-FM in Dallas that Lee, who leads the team with four interceptions, will return against Chicago.

"I think I have a great shot for returning next week," Lee said after the Cowboys' victory against the Oakland Raiders on Thanksgiving Day. "I have to put the work in and go through practice and go through the progressions, but I feel great [and] I should have a good shot."

The Cowboys (7-5) are ranked 27th in the league in run defense and have allowed 13 rushing touchdowns, tied for eight most in the league.

Jones also said cornerback Morris Claiborne (hamstring) is questionable to return Monday.

Good. He's the quarterback of the defense and they need him. Hopefully he can stay on the field.

He said that the last couple of days. Probably game time but this is encouraging.

Really hope this isn't just Jerry pumping some sunshine. Having Lee back if 100% would be huge.

Mixed feelings about this. Of course, we all want to see the best player on the defense back, but also don't want him to go down again and lose him for another three weeks.

Glad he's back but with the scheme we play I don't see a huge difference with or without him.

Don't get me wrong though he is a really good player.

He only missed 2 games, but had 4 weeks to heal with the bye week and Thanksgiving. Warrior.

The biggest difference is his presence in the run stopping and plugging holes. His 4 INT's shows he is reading the QB's real well in coverage. I can't wait until we have him out there.
