Marion Barber, DeMarcus Ware have fractures but both to start vs. Falcons

   Every Cowboy practiced on Wednesday but coach Wade Phillips said Marion Barber suffered a fractured left thumb against Kansas City and DeMarcus Ware has a stress fracture in his foot.

Phillips said both players will start Sunday against Atlanta.

Phillips said Barber complained of soreness after the Chiefs game but practiced without trouble during the bye week. He had an MRI after he complained of soreness on Monday that revealed the fracture.

Barber is right handed so Phillips does not believe carrying the ball or cacthing the ball will be much of an issue.

Ware has not missed a game with his injury and had his MRI on Monday as well. Phillips said Ware has not been slowed by the injury and won't keep him off the practice field.
