Suddenly, no one is talking about Cowboys running back ...

Dec 27, 2011

Suddenly, no one is talking about Cowboys running back Felix Jones' injured hamstring this week.

That's what happens when quarterback Tony Romo injures his throwing hand.

Jones didn't practice last week but was able to play Saturday against Philadelphia. He had felt tightness in his hamstring on his final carry the week before at Tampa Bay, and the Cowboys were cautious with Jones all week considering the lack of depth behind him.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said he wasn't surprised that Felix Jones was able to play against the Eagles after not practicing.

"Felix has been around here for a few years now. We understand what he's all about," Garrett said. "He did a great job managing that [hamstring] last week."

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
