Cowboys RT Colombo returned to practice and may play Saturday

The Dallas Cowboys right tackle Mark Colombo did not put on his Cowboys jersey to play the last seven games of the regular season because of a broken left leg, but may be able to play for the team in the Saturday’s playoff against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Colombo broke his leg and sustained ligament damage in his ankle on Nov. 15 while playing against the Green Bay Packers. He returned to practice Tuesday. According to Cowboys Coach Wade Philips, Colombo worked some with the first-team offense during practice in preparation for starting Saturday’s playoff. Before being hurt, he had started 57 consecutive games.

Two other starters who were injured may not be able to play Saturday. Running back Tashard Choice sustained a concussion in last Sunday’s season finale against the Eagles and was held out of Tuesday practice but worked on the side with a team trainer. Safety Pat Watkins missed the past three games with a sprained left knee but took full part in practice.
