Cowboys Return To Practice With Jenkins
Posted by nickeatman at 11/28/2011 11:19 AM CST on dallascowboys.com
The Cowboys returned to the practice field after a three-day break following last Thursday’s Thanksgiving win.
Among those practicing included cornerback Mike Jenkins, who has four straight games with a hamstring injury he sustained Oct. 30 in Philadelphia. Jenkins is expected to play this week in Arizona and resume his starting duties at right cornerback.
However, wide receiver Miles Austin didn’t participate in the walk-through practice, but was working with the athletic trainers on the cords, a sign that a return to action is close.
Fullback Tony Fiammetta, who has missed two games with an illness and concussion-like symptoms, did not practice Monday, but was on the field talking to the training staff.
Quarterback Jon Kitna (back) and safety Gerald Sensabaugh were not on the field, nor was defensive tackle Josh Brent, who was in the weight room during practice.
Since Monday is not a typical practice day, the Cowboys are not required to provide an official injury report until Wednesday.

IRVING -- Cornerback Mike Jenkins returned to practice Monday for the first time since injuring his right hamstring in a loss to Philadelphia last month.
As Jenkins went through drills with his teammates, receiver Miles Austin (hamstring) was working off to the side with the athletic training staff.
Along with Austin, nose tackle Josh Brent (knee), quarterback Jon Kitna (back), safety Gerald Sensabaugh (right foot), fullback Tony Fiammetta (illness), and running back Phillip Tanner (unknown) were not seen participating in football activities during the portion of the light workout when media access was permitted.
Meanwhile, linebacker Sean Lee was seen wearing only a black brace over the left wrist he dislocated last month after wearing a white, club-like cast in previous practices.

Fiammetta returns to practice field, light training; Jenkins ready to go, Austin "iffy".

IRVING -- The Cowboys returned to the practice fields at Valley Ranch on Monday morning, and cornerback Mike Jenkins (hamstring) was a participant at the walkthrough practice.
Jenkins has missed the last four games with a hamstring injury, and it appears he'll play Sunday at Arizona.
However, wide receiver Miles Austin (hamstring) did not work with the team during the walkthrough and was doing rehab work as he still recovers from his injury.
Austin has missed the last three games because of the hamstring injury.
There was some good news as fullback Tony Fiammetta made an appearance on the practice fields wearing a sweatsuit and a knit cap. Fiammetta hasn't played the last two games because of an undisclosed illness.
Fiammetta was in the Cowboys weight room riding a stationary bike, which is a good sign as he was getting sick when he was working out. Monday's events could lead to a return in the coming weeks.
Update: After Monday's walkthrough, Fiammetta declined to speak with reporters as he left the locker room.
"I don't have anything to say," Fiammetta said as he walked to the players parking lot.
Also missing the session were Gerald Sensabaugh (foot), Jon Kitna (back) and Josh Brent (knee).
Felix Jones (ankle), Kyle Kosier (foot) and Mat McBriar (leg) all participated during the walkthrough session held with no helmets.
