Wed. Practice: 1st Team Drills for Clay, T. Smith & Durant participating

[Doomsay]

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett did left tackle Tyron Smith (back, knee) will go through individual drills and potentially get some team action, while defensive ends DeMarcus Lawrence (back) and Tyrone Crawford (shoulder), cornerback Morris Claiborne (groin) and linebacker Justin Durant (elbow) are expected to go through full practices. Guard La'el Collins, who is on injured reserve with a toe injury, will go through individual drills for the first time since September.

Previous reports had Claiborne practicing in team drills last week, but it seems like Garrett is indicating that this will be his first full practice since returning from injury.

Thanks for the update

When was the last time we had all players participate in any practice. Including OTA's, mini-camps, TC's.....
This is great news. Shows the importance of getting that bye week.

And this bye week is different from the regular season bye week.

Cowherd saying it has been a month since Dallas played a meaningful game, since the TB game. GB been playing playoff type games for 6 weeks. Even though he thinks Dallas has the better team.
What does this mean for Dallas. What does it mean if Dak does ok, but they lose. As Rodgers is on fire.
You just have to say what a great season for a rookie QB.

Sure looked to me like they treated that Lions game as meaningful

All the stars are lining up. There's really no excuses not to win.

So, is Tapper taking Gregory's place? Or is it Collins?

I don't think they made a decision on any roster moves yet.

Id love to know this too. I really like Tapper

 

[jazzcat22]

I can't see them relying on Tapper, who has not played all year and missed most of Tc if not all of it.

This stuff is just the fluff every division winner who doesn't play on WC weekend has to deal with. When the whistle blows, it's all stuff that doesn't matter.

Jerry said Rico is an option as well. Only have 4 moves during the postseason so I wouldn't be surprised to see them do nothing until they see how this next one shakes out.

Wait.....What?

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Wait.....What?

These guys keep trolling us. I think Tapper makes more sense coming in a rotation. I know Collins is the next best OL we have, but Looney or Cooper could survive in a pinch.

Helman says all 63 players practiced i.e. 53 active roster + 10 practice squad.

So who was signed to the AR to replace Gregory?

Assume this doesn't include Gregory, Tapper etc. who are still officially on I.R. and so don't count to the 63.

Not sure being on edge for 7 games in a row (Green Bay was 4-6 and needed to "run the table" to qualify then beat NYG just to get to this game) is a good thing for the Packers. It is very hard to maintain that killer instinct for so long across so many players on a team. The mentally weak will fold after so long on edge at the first sign of real adversity.

I think if the Giants had gone ahead 14-0, a whole different game would have unfolded. Instead the Pack was buoyed by being down only 6-0 before they started to get it going. That Hail Mary also killed the Giants and kept up the Packs killer instincts.

It will be extremely important IMO for us to provide the Pack a real opportunity to finally give in to all the stress built up over the last 7 games and collapse in truly spectacular fashion. Even if Rodgers himself isn't fazed, probably his receivers will be.

Here's hoping we can put additional stress on them next Sunday and take them down.

Absolutely correct.
