What Is Marion Barber's Status?

  Not only did Dallas lose Sunday night, RB Marion Barber suffered a strained quadriceps muscle in the fourth quarter of the game. According to sportingnews.com, Barber will miss between one and two games while YAHOO! Sports reports that the injury is day-to-day. The Cowboys’ official website says that there will be another day of practice before Barber’s status is determined–he is quoted as saying he feels good. Dallas’ site also suggests that the team may rely on Tashard Choice if Barber is unable to go. Barber will have an extra day of rest as the Dallas Cowboys’ next game is next Monday against the Carolina Panthers–Dallas is still a 9-point home fave. Dallas has gone 7-3 straight up in its last 10 matchups against Carolina overall. The Dallas Cowboys opened their new billion-dollar stadium with a 33-31 loss on Sunday Night Football to the hated New York Giants–failing to cover as 3-point home faves.
