stallwoth has not practiced. he is the least likely to play. If he plays, i dont think he will finish the game cause its likely he would reaggravate the injury.
westbrook hasnt practiced yet this week, dont know if he did anything yet today, but im betting he will play on sunday, there may be some rust on him as he has not done any football work for 2 weeks now.
Shepherd will play. Im guessing he may be limited or slowed a little though, the ankle is not 100%. T Glenn owns hin anyway, so im sure they will give him help on almost every play. The guy that backs up shepherd is roderick hood, i am almost certain he will not play, his injury is more serious than shepherds, so if the number 3 guy doesnt play you've got to play shepherd or your basically putting your 4th best dback on Glenn - that would get ugly.
So expect Safety michael lewis or dawkins to help shepherd on almost every play against T Glenn. My guess is it wil be lewis cause the eagles wont want to risk having dawkins, their best player run out of the majority of plays by Glenn being used as a decoy.
Dawkins will be watching witten for a lot of the game. That leaves Brown one on one with TO, and dawkins having to read run or pass and keying on witten or the RB.
Really the matchups are clearly in the cowboys favor, i like our TE combo getting open in this game and i like TO matching up with Brown. The guys need to give bledsoe protection and the RB's really should find some room to run because of the fact that the safeties need to help in pass defense.

In a nutshell:
Stallworth most likely won't play.
I'm pretty sure Westbrook will play, however, I wouldn't bet my house on it.
Sheppard will play. Hood won't.

This really makes it seem like they'll have to severely limit their blitzing, doesn't it?

It wouldn't be season ending. If all went well in the surgery and they didn't find the damage was worse than previously thought, he'd be out for 4-6 weeks.alancdc;1071915 said:

I'd prepare for all of them, hope they are there and kick their assets!!
That being said....McNabb is our main concern, he is in tremendous shape compared to years past, he will be difficult to contain but with the current Dallas Defense, I really like our chances.

Sounds like Westbrook is claiming doubtful, but I'd be shocked if he doesn't go.
Sheppard should be able to go. Reid claimed he was almost ready to go last week. He should be ready. And that sound you heard was Terry Glenn licking his chops.
Stallworth is the only guy that I think is really in question for Sunday.

I think Stallworth's hammy is still giving him trouble. I would be surprised if he plays.
Lito Sheppard looks to be a go, but he's probably not 100% and has been a target for Dallas recently. I would expect him to get deep help from Michael Lewis most of the time (although Lewis' pass defense hasn't been great either).
And I expect Westbrook to give it a go this week before deciding if he'll have surgery on his knee. I think this is such a big game for the team that he'll do everything to play in this one and decide on surgery afterward.
If I'm the Cowboys, I line Owens up split left against Sheldon Brown. I think he'll get more one-on-one opportunities on that side with the Eagles trying to play Dawkins closer to the line of scrimmage.
