Cowboys are expecting RT Colombo and RB Choice to play playoff

Before this Sunday’s playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles, what the Dallas Cowboys want most is to have right tackle Marc Colombo and running back Tashard Choice return to team. Both have been listed as probable for Saturday’s game.

Colombo has not played a game since breaking his left leg and sustaining ligament damage in his ankle during Nov. 15’s game against the Green Bay Packers. He returned to practice Tuesday and finished some workouts with the first-team offense.


No. 3 running back Choice sustained a concussion during last week’s regular-season finale against the Eagles and left the field with the game still going on. Whether he could play well only less than a week after sustaining the concussion remains unsure. But it is more unsure whether safety Patrick Watkins could wear back his Cowboys jersey for the first-round playoff game as he has been inactive the last three games because of a sprained left knee.
