The big news from today’s practice report were the unexpected absences of defensive linemen David Irving and Randy Gregory. Especially after this morning’s press conference where Jason Garrett sounded a very optimistic tone about Irving. Not to worry, at least yet. Irving missed practice today not because of injury, but to handle a family issue.

Similarly, Gregory was not absent because of injury, but instead was in Chicago.
