The Dallas Cowboys have been battling injuries all season long. That includes losing defensive end and face of the defense DeMarcus Ware. The Cowboys defense is depleted and they need players to return, Ware says he feels great and could be headed back.

I feel way better than I did against New Orleans,” Ware said, via Todd Archer of ESPNDallas.com. “I felt good, but functionality wise it wasn’t all the way like I needed it to be. Now I really feel great. I feel really good and I’m just going out there and playing.”

“Working through all the drills, going through it all, you can still have a controlled practice but once you’re going against somebody it’s different,” Ware said. “You know what type of keys you’re looking for and you know what to expect.”

The Cowboys have listed Ware as probable for Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. He is one of eight players labeled as probable, six of whom play defense. The other five are: Morris Claiborne (hamstring), Jason Hatcher (neck), Nick Hayden(ribs), George Selvie (shoulder) and J.J. Wilcox (knee).

What roles they get this weekend is unknown yet. Coming off a bye week there is hope that the majority have reached a level that could see them playing in a limited role at the least.
