Cornerback Terence Newman Is Hurt Again

Cowboys cornerback Terence Newman wouldn't say whether he is in our out for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

He didn't practice, and when he was leaving the Cowboys practice facility, he wouldn't confirm or deny that he would be able to play on Sunday.

"Terence had a slight (muscle) pull yesterday," said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. "So, he's working through that and we didn't want him to push off on it." Jones said Newman didn't re-injure the same groin muscle as before, but didn't say what the new injury was. When asked if he will be able to go on Sunday, Jones reply was a simple "Yeah, but I don't know that. But I think he ought to."

Head Coach Wade Phillips was quizzed as he left the practice field, but would only say "it's a secret."

A Cowboys web site says the injury is a slight groin injury, but not in the same area that he had surgically corrected last month.

An official injury report has not yet been released.
