Marion barber has a fractured thumb

[tmaschm]

Just heard Wade say it during his press conference today. He still practiced and should play. I wouldn't be surprised if he had some fumbling issues due to this.

Yeeesh! That's all I needed to be added to the Cowboys Running Back By Commitee puzzle/pie! :thud:

Thank You, tmaschm. Nice scoop!

Also for people who play in idp leagues I believe I heard them say that Ware has a stress fracture in his foot. He should also play but it sounds like this is something that has been bothering him for a while and could give some explanation of his low sack totals this year.

Meh.

To be honest, a broken finger/thumb is a playable injury, as you're seeing. As long as it's not on a QB anyway.

I agree though, fumbling might be an issue if/when he switches the hand he's carrying the ball with.

Tashard is my Choice!

Nice play on words, Sarge! With Jones out I was using a 3 back attack in one league. Barber and Choice along with another back. Now I may just flex and go choice and my smoke and mirrors Wrs and TE attack.

That didnt take long for another injury for MBIII, since he likes contact when running and goes for the extra yards, fumbles could be a huge issue.

Glad i recently traded him, dont need a RB that cant finish a season injury free.
