Cowboys RB Barber doubtful for next game with injury

The Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber was limited again in the team’s practice on Friday. A left thigh injury makes his status for next Monday night’s game doubtful, although the running back himself has expected to play.


Friday was the second consecutive day Barber has limited participation in practice since he was hurt on a 35-yard run Sunday night. But Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says Barber has been “doing more every day.” However, Jones also said that he was uncertain whether Barber would be able to play next Monday against the Carolina Panthers.

According to Jones, the Cowboys do not worry about running backs even if Barber will not play. They still have another two good options in Felix Jones and Tashard Choice.
