The Cowboys had some injury concerns going into Sunday's game against the Falcons, but all of their ailing players came out of the game just fine except for their newest acquisition.

Kick returner Allen Rossum injured his hamstring and didn't return to the game. His status for next week is unknown, but considering that Patrick Crayton returned a punt for a TD, Rossum could be cut to make room for another player.

Running back Felix Jones ran eight times for 37 yards and one fumble, but Wade Phillips said he was fine and should participate fully in practice this week and will play on Sunday against the Seahawks.

Running back Marion Barber played with a cast on his hand and started. Phillips said that he was fine throughout the game and expects him to play again this week.

Linebacker DeMarcus Ware had two sacks and a forced fumble, proving that the stress fracture in his foot has no effect on his game. His new $78 million contract should also keep that foot nice and healthy.

Safety Gerald Sensabaugh started on Sunday against the Falcons and tied for the team lead with seven tackles. With Sensabaugh starting, Pat Watkins returns to his special teams duties and although Michael Hamlin is now healthy, he wasn't put on the active roster last week and didn't dress for the game.

Receiver Roy Williams also came out of Sunday's game healthy although he had just one catch in the game. He is also expected to return to practice and to start next week.
