INJURY UPDATE: Week 3 – WAS @ DAL

IRVING, Texas — Tony Romo is not the only Cowboys player who missed practice on Thursday.

Starting wide receiver Dez Bryant was not at practice as he’s still recovering from a bruised quad. Bryant missed practice last week and didn’t play in the Week 2 win at San Francisco. Bryant’s status for Monday night’s game vs. the Washington Redskins is uncertain.

The other starting wideout, Miles Austin (hamstring), did not practice either.

The Cowboys added a new name to the injured list in guard Derrick Dockery, who made his first start last week when rookie Bill Nagy missed the 49ers game with a knee injury. Dockery didn’t practice due to a sprained MCL, suffered in the 49ers game. Nagy returned to practice on Thursday.

Felix Jones (shoulder), Orlando Scandrick (ankle) and Phil Costa (knee) also missed practice.

There was some good news on the injury front as cornerback Terence Newman returned after missing a little more than a month with a groin injury.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett gave the team an extra day off on Wednesday in an attempt to get them more rehab work. As the team started practice, Garrett yelled, “Shake it off. You should be fresh and ready to roll.”
