Jason Witten isn't at practice 1:19 PM Wed, Oct 29, 2008 | Permalink | Yahoo! Buzz Tim MacMahon E-mail News tips TE Jason Witten wants to play Sunday despite a broken rib, but he isn't out there at the beginning of the Cowboys' first practice this week. CB Anthony Henry (deep thigh bruise) is on the field and wearing pads. We'll find out later how much he participates in the practice.
I'll be pissed if he plays. He has a broken rib. He'll be hurting just trying to breathe. He doesn't need to play. Give him this week off, the next week is a bye, and hold him out a bit of the following week if need be. He can get 2.5 weeks of recovery. The Giants game isn't going to matter much. We need him for the stretch run.
That is true he does need to recover because once Romo comes back the Cowboys will need their weapons ready.
