Jones done for year
Rookie running back Felix Jones will have season ending toe surgery. The injury came a couple weeks ago and Jones has been out since. It seemed Jones would be back after a couple of weeks rehabing and resting his toe but with to much pain and the chance of damaging his foot further the Cowboys decised to shut Jones down for the year.
It looks as the Cowboys are going to continue to keep rookie Felix Jones sidelined this week against the Redskins. Redskins running back Clinton Portis is hurt himself and will also be sidelined for the game. Both injuries should put more pressure on each teams passing game and effectiveness of running the ball.

The Cowboys got back to their style of football! Hard nose runs with a strong passing game. With a 31-22 win

over the Bengals on sunday afternoon the Cowboys move to 4-1 in the division behind the undefeated Giants. Marion Barber and Felix Jones both had strong running games and should the NFL that when the Cowboys get back to running the ball there a tough team to beat!
Tony Romo was on his “A” game sunday night against the Green Bay Packers. Romo threw for 260 yards with 1 touchdown and a interception in his home state of Wisconsin. He wasnt the only one that had a great game. Wide Receive Miles Austin and Rookie Running back Felix Jones had breakout games. Austin had the game of his life with 2 long catches for over 50 yards and a touchdown. While Jones continued on his impressive run with a touchdown now in his first 3 games of his career. The Cowboys won the game 27-16 and are now sitting solely in first place in their division.
Cowboys Rookie Felix Jones
was awarded the rookie of the week award this past week. With a impressive first two weeks Jones was a easy choice for rookie of the week. The Cowboys are looking forward to Jones be a key part of the offense and are very excited and impressed with his work ethic and hard nose style of running!
The Dallas Morning News has reported that the Cowboys are not concerned about Barber’s injury during week 1 game against the Cleveland Browns. Barber has taken the past couple days off of practice but returned to some position drills wednesday. Head coach Wade Phillips showed little concern over his starting running backs injury but ensured that rookie Felix Jones will be ready to start if needed to. With Jones coming in after Barber’s injury in week 1 and playing like a seasoned veteran the Cowboys look to be in good shape if needed to turn to Jones if Barber can not go on Monday!
Felix Jones
The kickoff to the 2008-2009 NFL season for the Dallas Cowboys started off with a bang! With the team looking like they picked up right when they left off last year the Cowboys defeated the Cleveland Browns in a week 1 win of 28-10. Other then having around a dozen penalties called the Cowboys looked sharp on both sides of the ball. One area of concern that can be taken away from the game is the injury to starting running back Marion Barber. Barber left the game with bruised ribs but it does not look like a injurt that will keep him out. Back up rookie running back Felix Jones came into his first career game and was very impressive that included a rushing touchdown. With a positiive performance from both sides of the ball the Cowboys look good moving into week 2 were they will meet division rival and Terrell Owens hater Philadelphia Eagles. This week I will be keeping up with the media and seeing how the progress of Barber and his ribs is and also Quarterback Tony Romo who got stitches in his chin after a hit to the face.
