Bruised knee may limit Cowboys cornerback Jenkins
12:26 AM CDT on Saturday, September 25, 2010
Cornerback Mike Jenkins increased his practice work during the week but will go into the Houston game unsure whether he will be restricted by a bruised right knee.
Jenkins incurred the injury during the fourth quarter of last week's loss to Chicago. According to Jenkins, the medical staff didn't want to risk aggravating the injury with a heavy week of practice.
"We're going to try it out on Sunday," Jenkins said. "Right now I feel good."
Briefly: Dez Bryant (ribs) went through a full practice and will retain his punt return duties in addition to getting playing time at wide receiver. Phillips said the club concluded preparations for Houston with a "spirited" workout. That stands in contrast to the sloppy showing in the final practice before the loss to Chicago. ... The NFL hit linebacker Anthony Spencer with a $5,000 fine for grabbing the facemask of Bears quarterback Jay Cutler on a sack. Spencer wasn't penalized on the play.
