Here's a weekend injury update on several Dallas Cowboys players.
Sean Lee: The starting middle linebacker has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury. It's been a projected three-to-four week injury, but Lee said if all goes well with his recovery he could return for the Dec. 9 game at the Chicago Bears. "I think I have a great shot for returning next week," Lee said. "I have to put the work in and go through practice and go through the progressions, but I feel great but I should have a good shot."
Morris Claiborne: He missed the Oakland Raiders game with a hamstring injury and has missed a total of three games because of his health. Claiborne didn't sound as confident about his return for the Bears game. "I don’t know at this point," Claiborne said. "I haven’t done any running on it yet, just try to give it time to heal. Just doing treatment for it." Claiborne added he doesn't want to return too fast only to re-injure himself.
Justin Durant: As he was leaving the locker room last week a reporter joked the strong side linebacker could return for the Bears game. Durant just smiled. Durant is out three-to-four weeks with his hamstring injury and he could return sooner. He's missed the last two games.
Lance Dunbar: The backup running back is expected to undergo left knee surgery, which would end his season.
Jason Hatcher: The starting defensive tackle has been dealing with a stinger that cost him the miss the Nov. 10 game at New Orleans. But Hatcher has played the last two weeks. "I'm playing with one arm out there," Hatcher said. "It's just the strength of God, I’m telling you. It's amazing when I watch myself on film, knowing what I've got in my left arm, its amazing, God is good."
Tony Romo: Romo played through a stomach virus and completed 23 of 32 passes for 225 yards with one touchdown. Romo said he took some medication for his illness but should be fine.

IRVING — After the Cowboys bused over to Highland Park High School’s indoor facility on Friday because of icy conditions affecting the fields at their Valley Ranch headquarters, only two players didn’t participate in practice.
Receiver Dwayne Harris and cornerback Morris Claiborne, who have been out since Nov. 24 with hamstring injuries, continued to be sidelined.
Linebackers Sean Lee and Justin Durant, who had missed the previous two games with strained hamstrings, were full participants for the second straight day.
