Stephen Jones: Dallas Cowboys gaining confidence after great week of practice

[waving monkey]

Although the Cowboys had 13 players on their Friday injury report, 10 were listed as probable for Sunday’s Wild Card matchup with the Detroit Lions.

Defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford (allergic reaction) and linebacker Anthony Hitchens (ankle) are questionable. Right tackle Doug Free is again doubtful with foot and ankle injuries.

“I think the big iffy ones are Doug Free and Anthony Hitchens,” Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones said Friday on 105.3 The Fan [KRLD-FM]. “So, those are our big ones. We’ll just have to see here as we move toward the game how those guys end up. Obviously Jermey Parnell has done a heck of a job in place of Doug. But if he can’t play, I’m sure he’ll be ready to go again.

Ive gained a lot of confidence with having all these former HC's on our staff! Its paying dividends.

 

[Flinger]

that's great news... a 'great week at practice' is usually a very good indicator of performance

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Practice makes perfect. I hope we're a well-oiled machine tomorrow.

did anyone get called up from practice squad or signed to replace melton who went to ir? or did the linebacker anderson fill his spot?

 

[Arkyvarminter]

We really, really, really, need HITCHENS.........

 

[fatboygixxer]

I'd be more excited if this came from Garrett, but good to hear nonetheless..

Anderson did fill his spot but it's still possible they made a move at DT but haven't heard anything.

So Crawford gets an allergic reaction that may cause him to miss the biggest game of the year so far ?
Weird time to eat his first peanut. I mean, seriously, how do you get such a severe allergic reaction out of the blue...and now. Eat something new ? New medication ? Why would you do anything new.

Nothing a little Benadryl won't clear up. He's playing.

Relax. It's better than the flu, which was what they thought initially.

Blame it on Ndumbokong Suh, that's what I'm doing. He's such a dirty player, he's probably behind this somehow. I'm just kidding...... I think.

It's funny, my kids (9 and 7) were told what #90 did to another quarterback in the last game, and that this jerk might do something to Romo if he has the chance. They were so mad, they said to me, "He better not change his number!!" I can only image what kind of things they're going to say during the game when they see him. Wish I could be there, too bad I'm deployed right now.

Thanks for what you do.

Cutter huh? My BN is based in Cutter. Not a hostile nation. Get to drink 3 beers a day too. I'll be back in cutter in June when I PCS. Yes, I'm PCS'd to cutter, but deployed to Afghanistan.

Have a beer on game day for me, Bro.

Ha! All right, I hope you get to watch the game out there! May the time FLY by. (And may all your buddies have to hear how Romo won a Super Bowl, and all the stats he's compiled while everyone hated on him!)

Allergies aren't set in stone ur entire life. You can be allergic to peanuts as a kid and not be as an adult... u could not have any allergies, and then develop one.

Never thought Hitchens would catch on so quickly when I watch him in the preseason. I don't want to overlook the Lions but I think Hitchens will be needed more against GB.
