After finally getting back to health last week, Felix Jones hurt his left knee in the first half against the Browns, then continued to play in the second half with a lot of heart, owner Jerry Jones said. “Saw a lot of heart, saw him running hard,” Jones said. “This is a good sign. Came back out and played, played on that. Knowing Felix, which if anybody can go when it normally would limit, he can go. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him ready to go Thursday.” Jones finished with 14 carries for 43 yards. He was not in the game in the late stages, when the Cowboys were driving for a game-tying field goal and in overtime. “Had a lot of snaps with it after it started bothering him,” Jerry Jones said. “It was not late in the game. It was before the half that he came back out and played. It didn’t look to me like it limited him at all, but it’s there.” Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said last week Jones looked as healthy as he has all season. But if Jones is slow on Thursday, it heightens the concern about whether DeMarco Murray is ready to play. “I don’t know,” Jerry Jones said, asked about Murray’s availability. “But I was certainly impressed with what I saw with the Redskins against Philadelphia. So there certainly is no saving anything against the Redskins for this team.” Source: Star-Telegram Attached Thumbnails

Cowboys reach .500, still not on solid ground

Jerry Jones deflects Holmgren rumors: “We’re good friends”

Cleveland did everything to give Sunday’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys, but Jerry Jones didn’t give away any info at all regarding the growing Mike Holmgren speculation. However, with Holmgren in Dallas to watch his Browns take on America’s team, the two spent time as they always do when their worlds cross.

Winning in spite of clear shortcomings

In an effort to take my own advice, I would like to remind any and all that the ugliest win in the world is better than the prettiest defeat. Also, that wins are very difficult to find in this league, so the last thing you want to do is to get picky about how aesthetically pleasing to the eye a victory might be. But, wow. Nothing comes easy for your 2012 Dallas Cowboys. And they...

Josh Cribbs gets tackled by his hair

Some guys just can’t live without their long hair. I’ve never understood why wide receivers or running backs would want to have long hair, but maybe I just don’t appreciate a good set of dread locks the way I should. During the Dallas Cowboys’ overtime win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Josh Cribbs was dragged down by his dreadlocks on what looked like a painful tackle...

Jerry Jones Pleased with the Cowboys O-Line

I’m not sure what Jerry Jones was looking at on Sunday, but I have to chalk his latest statements up to optimism and the joy of his Dallas Cowboys escaping Sunday with a win against the Cleveland Browns. Whatever the reason was, Jones was in a complimentary mood Sunday evening. While addressing the media Sunday, Jones blurted out that he was more than pleased with the performance...

Cowboys turn quickly to Redskins, RG3's visit
