A bit of good news could be on the way for Morris Claiborne and the Dallas Cowboys.
Per EVP Stephen Jones, the veteran cornerback is on schedule with the rehabilitation from his groin injury and has suffered no setbacks.
"We're starting to feel pretty confident we may see [Morris Claiborne] again this season." said Jones, via Dallas Morning News.

More specifically, it's being reported by Mike Leslie of WFAA Channel 8 in Dallas that the Cowboys are specifically confident in a potential return during the regular season.
This would be just what the doctored ordered for a Cowboys team that gave up 449 passing yards and three passing touchdowns to Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins on Thanksgiving.
Claiborne has been out since Oct. 30 when he suffered a groin injury versus the Philadelphia Eagles. He has since avoided surgery as the team has taken more of a wait-and-see approach up to this point.
Recently the fifth-year veteran himself stated the injury is actually a portion of his pelvic bone which had broken off, but stated he was advised it should heal on its own.
That appears to be the case thus far, and the Cowboys are holding out hope their best defensive back will again suit up soon.
