The Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber is likely to return to his home in Minnesota and get ready for a playoff game against the Vikings on Sunday. He may take part in practice Thursday to see how well his left knee works to decide whether he gets to play or how much he plays.
According to Cowboys Coach Wade Phillips, the team will not have Barber practice Wednesday because of precaution. And they also should avoid what happened last week when Barber tried to play Saturday night after missing some practice time but was stuck on the sideline after three carries netted just 4 yards.
“He’s already better than he was last week and better than he was after the game,” Phillips said. “So we think he’s going to be all right. And I know he wants to play going back to Minnesota. But we’ll monitor it.”
Third-stringer Tashard Choice, who suffered concussion during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, is also likely to wear back his Cowboys jersey for this Sunday’s game. The team said he has been cleared by doctors to practice. If he is to play, he is to face former college teammate Adrian Peterson, who is now the Vikings starting running back.

Cowboys injured RB Barber and LB Ware will still play weekend
It seems that the Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber and linebacker DeMarcus Ware will not have much time to have their injuries heal up, as Coach Wade Phillips expect them to start Sunday’s home game against the Atlanta Falcons.
Barber has a fractured left thumb that he thought he just jammed while playing against the Kansas City Chiefs before the bye week. An X-ray revealed the break. Ware has a stress fracture in his left foot. But Phillips’ logic is like this: Barber is a right-handed player, so injured thumb on left hand will not affect his performance in game; and Ware played previous game well with the injuries, so he can play the next games as well with the injury still paining him.
I believe Phillips would not like to use injured players, but he just had little choice as there are too many injuries among the Cowboys. All 10 players on the latest injury list fully participated in practice Wednesday. Along with Barber and Ware, receiver Roy Williams, running back Felix Jones and safety Gerald Sensabaugh are all expected to wear back their Cowboys jerseys and play against the Falcons after they missed the Kansas City game.
