“[Witten] will be day-to-day all week, but he’s not a lock [to play] at this point”, a source said. The tight end sprained both of his ankles and also sprained one of his knees during the game.

Unfortunately not. According to Bart Hubbuch on Twitter, Jason Witten is doing his best Black Night impression from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. There is no certainty that he will be available to play against the Falcons for Sunday’s home game per a source to Werder.
“Typical Witten, he wasn’t going to be out long”, coach Jason Garrett said. Witten has been one of he most productive players of his era, a sure-fire Hall of Famer when Witten decides to hang up the cleats. If it did come to pass that the Cowboys had to play without Witten, then Brandon Weeden’s job would get that much harder. He also insisted on playing in the season opener against the New York Giants after rupturing his spleen in the preseason in 2012. In terms of productivity, only Tony Gonzalez and Shannon Sharpe can measure up throughout National Football League history at the tight end position.

Basically, if Witten can’t go on Sunday, you’ll know it’s because the 33-year-old literally can’t go.
