No surprises on Cowboys inactive list

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – There was some question as to whether Kevin Ogletree or Dwayne Harris might be inactive today with the return of Miles Austin to active duty after missing two games with a hamstring injury. But both young wideouts will be active today. The players inactive for Dallas are Stephen McGee, David Buehler, Tony Fiammetta, David Arking, Derrick Dockery, Clifton Geathers and Jason Hatcher. Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo, the team’s leading tackler and defensive captain, is inactive with a knee injury. He returned to practice late last week, but his knee he hurt against Oakland earlier this month is apparently still a problem. The Patriots’ other inactives are WR Julian Edelman, QB Ryan Mattlett, CB Ras-I Dowling, S Joshn Barrett, S Sergio Brown and T Sebastian Vollmer. It’s a pristine fall day in Foxborough, so other than some strong gusts of wind, weather won’t be a factor.
