Dallas Cowboys cornerback Mike Jenkins could practice as early as Saturday and may be ready for the Giants on Sept. 5, after he passed his physical, according to the Cowboys website.
Jenkins will have to sit out for a three-day waiting period before he can practice. He had been on the physically unable to perform list (PUP).
Jenkins missed all of the offseason, training camp and all four preseason games after undergoing rotator cuff surgery in January.
If Jenkins plays or doesn't play, expect Brandon Carr and Morris Claiborne to start, with Orlando Scandrick and Jenkins giving the Cowboys secondary some depth.

Avoid Jason Witten for week one
Jerry Jones informed us today that it is “not impossible” that Jason Witten suits up and plays against the Cowboys on Wednesday.

NFL Preseason Preview: Cowboys vs. Dolphins

Trade for Cowboys: The Cowboys are clearly desperate for interior offensive line help. After losing both of their starting guards this offseason, the Cowboys replaced them with Nate Livings, an inferior player who really struggled in Cincinnati last year, and Mackenzy Bernadeau, a career backup who has yet to nail down a starting job thanks to injuries. 2011 4th round pick David...
