Wade Phillips thinks Marion Barber will be ready, too

During practice owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he expected Marion Barber to play Sunday at Denver, and during his post-practice press conference Wade Phillips said the same thing. "[Barber] said he felt like he'll be ready Sunday," Phillips said. For the first time since suffering the quadriceps injury Barber was able to take part in a full practice on Thursday. He was limited last week, which ultimately led to the Cowboys deciding to rest him against Carolina. The key will be how he returns from today's workout for Friday's light work out. Phillips does not believe Barber will be as affected by the injury as he was late last season by his dislocated toe, although Phillips also said Tashard Choice could see a larger than normal role as the No. 2 tailback against the Broncos. As for Flozell Adams sitting out Thursday's practice with a shoulder injury, Phillips said the move was precautionary and Adams would be able to practice Friday.
