ESPN’s John Clayton reports that Cowboys coach Wade Phillips has “all but ruled out” two key pieces of the team’s offense.
Receiver Roy Williams has a rib injury, and running back Felix Jones has a knee injury.
Per Clayton, Phillips doesn’t expect Williams and Jones to practice today, but Phillips isn’t expected to rule them out until Sunday, when the Cowboys face the Chiefs in Kansas City.
As a practical matter, they’ll likely be ruled out sooner, since it makes no sense for them to make the trip if they won’t be playing.
Neither Williams not Jones practiced Wednesday or Thursday.
Also missing practice both days were safety Michael Hamlin (wrist), linebacerk Curtis Johnson
(hamstring), and safety Gerald Sensabaugh (thumb). Sensabaugh could miss up to four weeks after undergoing surgery to repair a broken thumb.
Center Andre Gurode (knee)
was a limited participant on Thursday after missing practice Wednesday.
Tackle Flozell Adams (shoulder) and running back Marion Barber (quad) fully participated in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
“Center Andre Gurode (knee) was a limited participant on Thursday after missing practice Friday.”
(Head exploding)
before i read this article i didn’t give chiefs much of a chance to beat cowclowns. now, i don’t give cowclowns a big advantage and look to see a close game.
take the points on a teaser!
“Tackle Flozell Adams (shoulder) .. fully participated in tripping practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
“That can be a swing their way eventually. I just hate to be the team that they winned it against.”
Felix Jones needs a hot tub sponsorship deal. He’s becoming an expert on how to sit in one. “Can’t make the club in the tub”, but you can draw paychecks in one.
I was able to listen to CowGirls radio after the game against Denver. They called Roy Williams a “key downfield blocker” – as a dig at the fact that he is relatively unproductive as an actual receiver.
As a Cowboys fan, I am picking the Chiefs for the upset of the week.
Guess what Roy?
That’s what happens when your “Pro Bowl” quarterback leads you across the middle only to be completely destroyed by D.J. Williams.
I am pretty sure that I saw Roy Williams cough up his balls after that hit. He will peeing and pooping blood for a month after that one.
Can you say goodnight pathetic excuse for Terrell Owens replacement?
Thay can’t possibly lose to the Chief’s…can they?
The Kool-Aid would be flowing in Jonestown.
“You can’t make the club if you’re in the tub.” Unless you were a star at Arkansas and play for the team owned by Jerry “I touch myself when someone says ‘Razorback’ “Jones.
Say Dallas loses to KC this week, this might be what happens to Jerry’s head:

I love it, dietrich !!!
Chiefs 1st win
Oh man, if the Cowboys drop one to the Chiefs…
Maybe we won’t see Vox Veritas for a week or two. Please, Kansas City, make this happen for PFT!
I’m a Skins fan so LET’S GO CHIEFS
It pains to report that a Cowboys fan last year won this contest I’m helping run called The Ultimate Displaced Fan, where you explain why you’re the ultimate fan living in enemy territory and the winner get 2 tix to the Super Bowl. This Cowboys fan living in DC unfortunately won – if you have a better story, check it out.
Chiefs get their first win! And the Redskins will be their second. “F” the cowpokes and deadskins.
Damn now the NFL refs have to look the other way again while the “TRIPPER” applies his All Pro form of protecting his QB. According to The head official (Mikey P) anyone caught coming anywhere near or talking to a sacred QB ( Brady, Romo or Cutler) will be penalized (orders of the Rules Commitee).
I wonder if ribs are on the menu Sunday?
