In an interview on The John Thompson Radio Show today, Washington Redskins star running back Clinton Portis may have given the Dallas Cowboys the best news they could have wished for. Portis has a grade two MCL sprain and will be a game-time decision on Sunday Night.
Week 11's premier matchup, yet another NFC East slugfest, has the 5-4 Dallas Cowboys paying a visit to the 6-3 Washington Redskins.
The reeling Cowboys likely feel like they were due some good news. Obviously, they have quite a bit going for them now. Their star quarterback, Tony Romo, is slated to return from a broken pinky finger, star tight end Jason Witten should be healed up enough from cracked ribs, and new wide receiver Roy Williams has finally had time to play with Romo (at least in practice).
Also expected to return on offense is explosive running back rookie Felix Jones.
The Cowboys even get help on defense, with their top cornerback Terence Newman also expected to return from hernia surgery.
Can all of this help they are getting end the downward spiral? That is, of course, the MILLION DOLLAR question.

No prediction? I'm not even sure who to root for in this game. On the one hand I of course want the 2nd place team to lose while the Giants are in 1st. On the other I hate the Cows so much it would be nice to just see them put out of their misery once and for all early in a season where they were the favorites to win it all. On the other other hand, I want the home team's fans to be miserable watching the game. I just don't know. But I do think the Skins will win.

Thanks Osi, I haven't seen you around for a while, how ya been?
This was just a quick news post, I will be doing a full breakdown later in the week. I do expect the Skins to win, I think overall the Skins match up well against the 'Boys, but all the "wildcard" stuff always makes games like this so difficult. And without Portis, it will make if even more difficult.
I understand your difficulty in deciding who to root for, I went through the same thing on Sunday night, Giants/Eagles game, very torn indeed.

New job + 3-year-old = no time. It didn't keep me from watching the Skins get rolled by the Steelers last game, just from coming on here and giving you a hard time over it.

Starting guard Kyle Kosier returns as well. The last time the entire offensive line was healthy the Cowboys ran the ball down Green Bay's throat.

They sure did. Only trick to that is that the Skins have a "slightly" better D than GB. It will be a great game I'm sure, both teams are feeling the need!!!
Thanks for the input Michael!
