The injury situation is the primary topic of conversation for the Cowboys this week. The Cowboys learned that receiver Terry Glenn will miss at least the first two weeks of the season, meaning that Patrick Crayton will get the start and that Sam Hurd will be the third receiver.
The news is slightly better for cornerback Terence Newman, who will likely gut it out and play against the Giants, but he won’t be 100%. The news goes south again with respect to linebackers Greg Ellis and Kevin Burnett. Ellis apparently can’t lift his heel and will miss as much as half of the season, according to reports. Burnett is 50-50 for the Giants game.
For the Giants, Michael Strahan is reportedly ready to play. Cornerback Sam Madison is also eager to play, but he is still trying to recover from a hamstring injury.
