SAN DIEGO — Phil Costa’s lingering back injury could keep him sidelined until next week.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said “we don’t necessarily think” Phil Costa will play Saturday against St. Louis and added he doesn’t think he will practice “very much” on Thursday in Arlington.

“We do anticipate him being able to be back for the early part of next week, at least,” Garrett said.

Can make the team from the trainers room.

Unless your team made no effort to find an adequate replacement at any point during an entire off season.

I would pay good money to see Stephen's reaction to the following question:

Stephen, will Costa be cut due to inactivity, or will he make the club from the tub?"

How crazy is it that we're praying for a turd like Costa to be healthy by WK1? Doesn't say much for the competition.

I was counting on Kowalski to save the day. I wonder why his injury in lingering so long.

Jerry has conned his fanbase yet again.

He has fans actually clamoring for Phil Fucking Costa.

Suckers.

Nobody is really saying much about it, but I'm getting a really bad feeling about Austin.

The kind where this year is basically a repeat of last year.
