Cowboys cornerback Terence Newman, who only played about half of the plays during Monday Night's win over the Philadelphia Eagles, will probably be the starter at Green Bay on Sunday, said head coach Wade Phillips.
Newman had been out since early training camp when he suffered a slightly torn groin and was finally able to hit the field against the Cowboys' division rivals, in a limited role. Phillips said that Newman was rusty at the beginning but got stronger as the game progressed.
Cowboys linebacker Anthony Spencer did not participate in today's practice, but merely worked with trainers off to the side. Like Newman, Spencer made his season debut against the Eagles, spelling Greg Ellis from time to time.
He had his knee scoped the week following the team's first pre-season game against San Diego when he banged knees with another player, but has been a slow healer up to this point.
