Injury report: Claiborne, Sims are doubtful; Williams is questionable

The Cowboys have ruled receiver Dwayne Harris (hamstring) and linebacker Sean Lee (neck) out of Sunday's game against the Redskins. Cornerback Morris Claiborne (hamstring) did not practice all week and has ruled himself out of Sunday's game, but the Cowboys list him as doubtful.

Linebacker Ernie Sims (groin) also is doubtful after not practicing all week.

Receiver Terrance Williams (hamstring) and defensive lineman Jarius Wynn (chest) returned to practice Friday but were limited. They are questionable for the game.

Cornerback Brandon Carr (illness), linebacker Bruce Carter (hamstring), defensive tackle Jason Hatcher (neck), defensive end George Selvie (back) and defensive end DeMarcus Ware (back) are probable after practicing in full Friday.

-- Charean Williams

Lee and Romo.....two contracts that the Cowboys will definitely regret 2 years from now.

I'm already regretting them but I could see Jerry trying wiggle from under them in a couple years.

And the worst part is, just like with the Miles Austin contract, they could have been waited out until the end of the season to confirm whether the deals needed to be made or not.

Had the Cowboys waited until the end of the contract year on all 3 (assuming our front office would actually function like a real front office), they would've seen more than enough from all 3 to realize that they should pass on the extension, or in the case of Lee, commit less money.

But as is always the case with the Jones', they just can't ever be patient and wait things out with a player.

I wouldnt get too excited. There's a good chance that LT pooped his pants this morning.
And maybe there's a chance I didn't. Now have you checked the viscosity of your skidmarks yet?

With Lee they definitely should have waited. The guy has been in and out of the lineup his entire career. He's a very good player but, IMO, availability is just as important as ability.

I'd take a good player who I can count on to play for 16 games over a great player who will only give me 11 games.

Dez had his back tighten up on him in practice yesterday.

Per Archer: @toddarcher: Dez Bryant now doing rehab work. Not running plays in on air drills with offense

On the rare occasion that Jerry finds a decent player he has to keep resigning them. It's not like he can just go out and find a replacement. We would need a competent GM for that

You can throw Jay Ratliff into that list of stupid and unnecessary extensions.

His might be the worst because he was already on the decline and had not one, but two years left on his deal.

That doesn't sound good.

"Find a way to play"? That means this is significant.

That's a lot of back problems for a young player. Will he need (and will he accept) an injury clause in his extension?
