IRVING, Texas (AP) — Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber has a fractured left thumb and linebacker DeMarcus Ware has a stress fracture in his left foot. Both are still expected to play Sunday against Atlanta.

Barber and Ware were new additions to the Cowboys' injury list Wednesday. Coach Wade Phillips said both were full participants in practice, as was everybody else on the list.

Phillips says Barber hurt his thumb during the Kansas City game before the bye week and thought it was just jammed because the swelling went down. An X-ray revealed the fracture.

Ware had an MRI on his foot after it had bothered him for a couple of weeks.
