The Facts:
According to multiple sources, Witten has a broken rib but he hopes to play Sunday against the Giants. The Cowboys are off today and resume practice Wednesday. HC Wade Phillips said on Monday he did not know the full extent of Witten's injury but he was told there is a chance Witten could play against the Giants.
Witten suffered the injury Sunday against Tampa Bay and attempted to return to the game in the second half but played only one series. If Witten cannot play, it would be just the second game he has missed because of injury in his career. He missed one game as a rookie because of a broken jaw. It would also severely hurt an offense that has struggled the last two weeks. Without Witten, rookie Martellus Bennett and Tony Curtis would have to fill in. If Witten can play he would likely have to wear added protection to cover his ribs.
