Before this Sunday’s playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles, what the Dallas Cowboys want most is to have right tackle Marc Colombo and running back Tashard Choice return to team. Both have been listed as probable for Saturday’s game.
Colombo has not played a game since breaking his left leg and sustaining ligament damage in his ankle during Nov. 15’s game against the Green Bay Packers. He returned to practice Tuesday and finished some workouts with the first-team offense.
No. 3 running back Choice sustained a concussion during last week’s regular-season finale against the Eagles and left the field with the game still going on. Whether he could play well only less than a week after sustaining the concussion remains unsure. But it is more unsure whether safety Patrick Watkins could wear back his Cowboys jersey for the first-round playoff game as he has been inactive the last three games because of a sprained left knee.

Cowboys beat Eagles 24-0, winning NFC East
The Dallas Cowboys finally turned over from last season’s season-ending loss to the Philadelphia Eagles by beating the Eagles 24-0 in this season’s final game. The blowout victory also set the 11-5 Cowboys’ position in the playoffs.
Winning the NFC East, the Cowboys win the host of a rematch in the first round of the playoffs next weekend. Plus, Tony Romo, who threw a pair of early touchdown passes, along with the entire offense, set all sorts of single-season records, including having a winning record after Dec. 1 for the first time since 1996 and ending a nine-game losing streak in season finales. And if they continue to win, there will be a first playoff win since 1996.
Despite opening December with two consecutive losses, the Cowboys soon started a new winning streak by sending the 13-0 New Orleans Saints their first loss of the season, shutting out the Washington Redskins 17-0 and without allowing the Eagles to score a single point in the season finale. So for all those who love Cowboys jerseys, they have enough reasons to believe that the Cowboys will be able to win the playoff this time.

Both WR Williams and CB Newman might be available for Friday opener
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams and cornerback Terence Newman both returned to practice field after missing time for injuries. And coach Wade Phillip expected both to play in the preseason home opener Friday night against the Tennessee Titans.
Williams said that his sprained left wrist still hurt but he still chose to practice instead of working on the side with a trainer, because he did not want to be the guy "that don’t practice because of this or that." He was wearing No.84 jersey rather than his normal No. 11 dallas cowboys jersey that day.
Newman skipped totally nine days of practice and he did not had any coversation with reporters after practice ended. However, Philips said that his performance was good and there seemed no lingering effect from the injury. In fact he thought both Williams and Newman did well and hopefully they will be able to play the game on Friday night.

Cowboys’ Jenkins returned to practice
The Dallas Cowboys cornerback Mike Jenkins was back with the team on Sunday and took part in the second practice of the day after missing a week of practice.
The reason for Jenkins missing practice was that he sprained his right ankle. The injury prevented him from playing in the preseason opener Thursday night. Another one of the team's top three cornerback, Terence Newman, also missed the opener because he ustained a slight groin strain Aug. 8, the same day Jenkins was hurt.
Linebacker Steve Octavien who hurt groin also came back to the practice field on Sunday. And the coach Wade Philips expects that Newman would be available for practice on Monday afternoon.
