IRVING, Texas – After all that speculation about his playing status, there was Jason Witten on Wednesday morning – practicing.
For any other player, that’d have to be considered surprising. After all, Witten sprained both ankles and one of his knees in Sunday’s 20-10 win against Philadelphia.
For a guy who has appeared in 193 career games over a 13-year career, though, it was almost expected. The injuries were enough to spark reports that Witten’s status against Atlanta is in doubt – though that’d be his first absence since Week 5 of 2003, his rookie season.
