Dallas Cowboys

S Ken Hamlin - ankle (11/15) Hamlin suffered a high ankle sprain against the Packers and will miss 2-4 weeks. Alan Ball will replace him at free safety beginning Sunday against the Redskins.

CB Mike Jenkins - elbow (11/15) Jenkins sustained a deep biceps contusion against the Packers. He tried to return in the fourth quarter but left again in noticeable pain. But the starting corner has practiced fully this week, and head coach Wade Phillips said Jenkins looked noticeably better on Thursday. Barring a setback, he's expected to start.

K David Buehler - toe (11/15) The rookie kickoff specialist kicked off Thursday with what he called a fractured right pinky toe. Phillips is optimistic Buehler, who's tied for third in the league in touchbacks (17), will be able to kick off against the Redskins. Phillips said Buehler likely would only kick off this week; if not, place kicker Nick Folk will handle those duties for the first time since 2008.

OT Marc Colombo - ankle (11/15) Colombo had surgery this week to repair ligaments after suffering a high ankle sprain against the Packers. He also fractured his fibula. There's a chance Colombo could return this season, but he will miss at least several weeks. Doug Free will start in his place at right tackle.

KR/PR Allen Rossum - hamstring (10/25) The return specialist injured his hamstring on his first return against the Falcons and will likely miss a fourth straight game against the Redskins.

LB DeMarcus Ware - foot (10/21) The Pro Bowl linebacker is playing with a stress fracture in his foot, but amazingly it hasn't seemed to affect him in the last few games. He has had full practice participation again this week and is expected to start.

RB Marion Barber - thumb (10/21) - Barber has played the last several games with a fractured thumb and has had full participation again this week. Phillips also said Barber has gotten his "burst back" since recovering from a previous quadriceps strain.

S Gerald Sensabaugh - thumb (10/4) Wearing a cast on his surgically-repaired thumb, the starting strong safety has played the last several games without any major problems. He has had full practice participation again this week and is expected to start.

Injured Reserve:
LB Brandon Williams (torn ACL)
LB Stephen Hodge (knee)

Non-Active PUP:
OL Robert Brewster (torn pectoral muscle)
