The Cowboys received some good news Friday morning when the results of the MRI exams of linebacker DeMarcus Ware and running back Marion Barber came back negative.
Ware left Thursday's game with a hyperextended left knee in the third quarter. The MRI tests revealed no ligament damage, but there is a bone bruise. Ware said he expects to play in the Cowboys' next game Dec. 7 at Pittsburgh.
Ware leads the NFL with 15 sacks.
Barber departed Thursday's game with a dislocated little toe on his right foot. Barber, who didn't speak to reporters when he left Texas Stadium, doesn't have a fracture.
Team officials listed Ware and Barber as day-to-day in terms of availability to practice. The Cowboys' next practice is Monday.
Rookie Tashard Choice is the only healthy running back on the active roster. He has averaged 4.9 yards per carry in 30 attempts.
But the team could make a move soon in calling up Alonzo Coleman from the practice squad or sign another player.
