Rookie cornerback B.W. Webb wanted J.J. Wilcox to know that he was thinking of him. So Webb wore Wilcox's No. 27 jersey to practice Friday.
"That’s like my brother, so I’m just showing my love, let him know I’m still here with him," Webb said. "Whatever he needs I’ve got him."
Wilcox has been excused from practice since his mother, Marshell Wilcox, became gravely ill. Marshell Wilcox died Tuesday after a long battle with lupusa, a chronic and lifelong autoimmune disease that causes the immune system to attack the body’s own tissue and organs. The funeral is Saturday in Cairo, Ga.
Wilcox is expected to rejoin the team in Dallas.
"I’ve talked to him," Webb said. "He’s doing a little better, but it’s hard right now. I can’t imagine losing your parent. I’m just want to let him know I’m here for him if he needs anything."
Webb will wear his own No. 20 in the game Saturday against the Cardinals.
