His weekly Friday radio appearances give Cowboys owner Jerry Jones plenty of chances to talk about his quarterback.

But while he didn’t have an update on Tony Romo’s status today, Jones did offer some good news on several other key injuries.

During his appearance on 105.3 The Fan, Jones said he expects wide receiver Dez Bryant, defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence and cornerback Orlando Scandrick to play next week against the Eagles after they take their bye this weekend.

Bryant has been out since Sept. 25 with a knee injury, but said earlier this week (when he wasn’t ginsu-ing himself while making soup) that he was ready to return after the bye.

Lawrence suffered a shoulder injury two games into his return from a four-game suspension. Scandrick hasn’t played since Week Two with hamstring injuries

Regarding his starting quarterback, Jones said it was “up in the air,” whether Romo would practice next week, as he recovers from broken bones in his back.
