Marc Colombo and Kyle Kosier will play after going through their second day of practice without an issue, but that doesn't mean they will play a full game.
Wade Phillips said he would work in Alex Barron and Montrae Holland at least some because Colombo and Kosier have missed so much time as they recovered from knee injuries. Phillips also said Kosier has taken some snaps at center this week in practice, which could indicate the Cowboys could go with seven linemen on their 45-man roster instead of eight. If it is eight, then rookie Phil Costa would be active again.
"I think you have to have a feel for that in the game," Phillips said of subbing Colombo and Kosier. "Like last week we had guys fresh that we wanted to sub for but they were doing well. Now I think when a guy's been injured it's a little different set of circumstances. There's still a feel for it than just, 'Oh, you have so many plays,' but we do have to look at it no matter how fresh they say they were we need to sub for them."
