Ware says he is fine, MBIII has dislocated toe *Merge*

[Eskimo]

We can survive and win with Choice if Barber is gone.

However, we are done as far as SB hopes if Ware is done. We go from an above averagie and emerging defense to a below average one in the snap of a finger.

barber was injured. came out. Went for xrays. they were negative.

he goes back in and one play later the injury is worse.

I am confused as to why he went back in. I really wish they would have held him out. I know he is a tough guy to keep on the sidelines, but with the score the way it was I dont get why he went back in.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Well if Portis can play against us with a sprained knee, I see no reason why Barber won't play with a bad toe.

 

[Pick6TerenceNewman]

Guys, if it is true, that Barber has a dislocated pinkie toe, there isn't much you can do to make it heal. IMHO, I think Barber can and will play against the Steelers. They can add extra padding in his shoe to help as a shock-absorber.

MBIII needs steel toe shoes for Pittsburgh.

 

[Big Dakota]

MBIII needs steel toe shoes for Pittsburgh.

If he plays you can bet the house he will have steel in that cleat.

 

[Pick6TerenceNewman]

A dislocation is better than a broken toe! A dislocation can be popped back in than it can be tapped to the next toe.

Romo = Right Pinkie finger on a passer
Barber = Right pinkie toe on a runner

Coincidence?

 

[Pick6TerenceNewman]

If he plays you can bet the house he will have steel in that cleat.

Na! They will have extra padding on the toe. The steel would call irritation.

Wade Phillips talks about injuries to Barber, Ware

The Cowboys came away with a 34-9 win over the Seahawks, but it's not without injury.
Marion Barber "got his foot stepped on", said coach Wade Phillips. But X-Rays were negative on the bruised right foot for Barber.
DeMarcus Ware went down with what looked like a very scary knee injury. Phillips was a little more stoic when talking about the injury to Ware. Phillips noted that Ware was walking around on the sprained left knee, but that it was definitely an injury that would need to be evaluated. The look on his face and tone of his voice was a little more concerned than his words expressed.

We absolutely can not lose Ware. Good thing we at least have those extra days to give that leg some time to heal.

No doubt! I would think that both Ware and Barber will be ready in ten days.

 

[Lifetimeboyzfan]

Never a good thing when you are looking at the potential of losing the best defensive player in the league. Maybe we catch a break and he is alright.

 

[jobberone]

I think he has a mild LCL strain. I'm just hoping he didn't damage a ligament.

 

[The Ominous]

It was tough to watch that DeMarcus injury and see him with that giant ice wrap on his knee. It was Like my worst nightmare was happening before my eyes. Then throw in the Barber dilemna and I was extremely concerned. My family didn't even really talk to me because they saw the look on my face.

I really hope they are good to go come next Sunday. They make up a huge part of the heart and soul of this team.

It looked ugly on the replay.

 

[Section446]

Man, we need Ware. ray:

 

[PBJTime]

I think he has a mild LCL strain. I'm just hoping he didn't damage a ligament.

Not to be picky, but it would be a sprain of the LCL. This, by definition, would mean some sort of damage to that ligament.

But, I agree. I was thinking LCL from watching the replay. The scary thing, however, is that I've seen people walking around shortly after sustaining a second degree sprain, only to find out how bad it actually is when the swelling increases. The good thing is, it would be almost impossible to walk around if it was anything third degree or higher because it would just be too unstable. But, a month or two of rehab for a second degree is pretty common. Let's hope that it really is mild.

No, no, no! Ever worn steel-tipped boots in freezing cold weather? Steel is an excellent conductor of, among other things, cold.

If Barber wore steel-tipped cleats, all of his toes would need to be amputated by halftime.

 

[theebs]

this nitwit just watched jerry say that he believes both injuries are manageable and he thinks they both should be ok to go in pittsburgh.

that was recorded in the locker room though after the game, so take it for what it is worth.
