Cowboys have to wait for CT scan on Witten
Jason Witten is doing everything he can to be ready to play in the Dallas Cowboys' season opener.Yet no matter how good he feels, the seven-time Pro Bowl tight end won't know until Tuesday if he will be medically cleared. That is when he is scheduled to have a CT scan to determine if his lacerated spleen has healed enough to play.''You look for in how he's preparing himself to play in the game,he waer the google jerseys , then the answer is yes there,'' owner Jerry Jones said after the team's practice Sunday. ''But realistically, how it sorts through relative to what he might do in a CAT scan test Tuesday, that probably will dictate whether he plays or not.''
It has been only three weeks since Witten got hurt when he took a hard hit in the side during the Aug. 13 preseason opener at Oakland. He had limited participation in practice Sunday, only his second day back in pads.Witten's scan is set before the team's departure for the NFL's kickoff game Wednesday night at the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants.''If I get cleared, we're playing. It's the only way I believe you can approach the game,'' said Witten, who was then asked if he was optimistic about getting cleared.
''I wouldn't say optimistic just because as of right now it's been a tough challenge to get to that point and the discount cheap nfl jerseys ,'' he said. ''Optimistic would be if it was in my hands and my control. So no from that standpoint.''Sunday also marked the return to practice for cornerback Mike Jenkins, and Jones said he ''practiced well.'' The former Pro Bowler missed all offseason work and training camp because of reconstructive shoulder surgery after last season.
Jenkins passed his physical last week and was eligible to return to practice Saturday. But he missed that day because of migraine headaches.When asked of his chances of playing in the opener, Jenkins said he didn't know.''the cheap Nike nfl jerseys are good. I got my feet up under me. I got a chance to get out there and work with the rest of the team,'' Jenkins said after his first practice. ''I just got cleared. I'm guessing it's on me and the coaches, come together to a mutual decision when I can get back out.''
