The Cowboys have a short week to get ready for Seattle on Thanksgiving Day and they're gonna be a couple of players short again.

Guard Kyle Kosier has missed most of the year with a bad foot. He hurt it again yesterday, he's probably done for the year.

And rookie cornerback Mike Jenkins won't play Thursday either, he has a hamstring problem which we say a lot.

I sometimes wonder how anybody plays on Thanksgiving Day after a game on Sunday.

Quarterback Tony Romo's gonna play with that splint on his finger again, maybe the last time though.

And tight end Jason Witten is gonna play and i don't know how he finished that game yesterday.

Maybe the question is why did he finish the game yesterday.

Playing with broken ribs, he just keeps going. Most of these guys do.

It's a tough job, it pays well, but it's a very tough job.

Thr flip side to a Thurs. game is with a win and hopefullly no more injuries they will have some days off to heal.

Yeah, but we don't have to travel, which Seattle does.

Excellent point. They are coming a long way and normally do not play well on the road. I would be shocked if we lost.
