The NFC East-leading Cowboys had said during the week they were being cautious with Jones, who was limited to working on the side never formally practised. He is coming off consecutive 100-yard rushing games since rookie DeMarco Murray, the teams leading rusher, broke his right ankle in a loss to the New York Giants two weeks ago and was put on injured reserve. During one of his regular weekly radio appearances Friday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he would be surprised if Felix Jones didnt play. But the owner also said it was important to have a plan since the fourth-year running back hadnt practised. Sammy Morris, a 12-year NFL veteran who signed with Dallas and made his season debut last week, would start if Jones doesnt play. On Friday, the Cowboys signed running back Chauncey Washington to the active roster from their practice squad. Morris and Washington split time at practice in Jones absence.

But if the Giants (7-7) win, the Eagles would be eliminated from playoff contention and the NFC East champion would then be the winner of the New Years Day game when Dallas travels to play the Giants. Washington, whose only four NFL carries came as a rookie for Jacksonville in 2008, was signed to the Cowboys practice squad Nov. 30. He had been out of football since being cut by St. Louis during training camp Aug. 4.
