The Cowboys' offense will be without WR Roy Williams and RB Felix Jones for Sunday's game at Kansas City, after neither player made the trip.
Neither player practiced all week, and Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips had all but ruled out the two players before Friday's practice, although both were listed as doubtful on Friday's injury report. Williams has bruised ribs, and Jones has been out since spraining his posterior cruciate ligament Sept. 28 against Carolina.
Starting SS Gerald Sensabaugh also was declared out following thumb surgery. All three players will have an extra week to recover from their injuries, since the Cowboys have a bye next week.
The absence of Jones will mean more carries for Tashard Choice. Marion Barber practiced all week while recovering from a strained quad and is expected to see considerable action Sunday.
Starting C Andre Gurode is questionable with a sprained knee; Cory Proctor would start in his place if Gurode can't go Sunday.
