Cowboys linebacker injured

Victor Butler was the only player who came out of Thursday's win over Oakland with an injury. The rookie outside linebacker suffered a sprained knee, coach Wade Phillips said Monday. Phillips said TE Jason Witten "is even better today than he was during the game." Witten caught five passes for a season-high 107 yards in the 24-7 win over Oakland. Phillips said S Ken Hamlin, who has missed the last two games with a high ankle sprain, will be re-examed Wedneday. With the players returning from a three-day weekend, a significant portion of Monday's practice was devoted to conditioning. The team will start working on plays for Sunday's game at New York on Wednesday. "They have been of a few days," Phillips said. "I tried to get the timing back as well as push them as far as condition, although they are in pretty good shape for this time of year.We did a lot running in practice to get going again."
