Big D....L

Ok, so in football it's called the IR not the DL, but Dallas has been struck with a huge mess of injuries so far in 2008.

Of course the biggest injury (stature, not size) was to QB Tony Romo's pinky but America's team is missing a slew of other key players, which isn't really helping them climb out of the hole they dug themselves into.

Rookie RB Felix Jones(hamstring) is most likely going to miss this week's game against the Bucs after missing practice again on Thursday. He also sat out last week's disgrace of a game against the Rams.

The Cowboys didn't only lose to the Rams 34-14, but they also lost Roy Williams for the remainder of the season. S Roy Williams, not the newly acquired wide receiver from Detroit. Williams re-broke his fractured right forearm in his first-game back since the initial injury during a Week 2 win over the Eagles.

CB Terrence Newman has been out after undergoing surgery to repair a sports hernia since Week 5. Unlike the Saint's Jeremy Shockey, he will take the suggested recovery time and isn't expected back until Week 11 against the Redskins.

And of course there's Pacman...I mean Adam Jones who was suspended at least four games by commissioner Roger Goodell after an incident with his team-appointed bodyguard. "If he can deal with whatever issues he may have, handle his responsibilities, make good decisions, then he may have an opportunity to play again in the league," said Goodell. Wait, I thought that's what he said last time? Pacman checked himself into an alcohol-treatment center earlier this week.

Backup QB Brad Johnson better rekindle the game he had back in 2003 when he led the Bucs to a Super Bowl victory over the Raiders if Dallas has any chance of beating the 5-2 Buccaneers in Week 8.
