The Facts:
Barber, after not practicing all week with a dislocated little toe on his right foot, will not make the trip to Pittsburgh this weekend. Barber is out for Sunday's game, meaning rookie Tashard Choice will handle the starting duties and newly-signed Alonzo Coleman will likely play as the No. 2 back.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Cowboys were optimistic about Barber's chances of playing, with HC Wade Phillips stating all week that his starting back could possibly play, despite missing all week of practice. Instead, the Cowboys apparently have decided, after a meeting with the training staff after Saturday's walk-through, to leave Barber behind.
