Arizona quarterback Kevin Kolb says his injured right foot was sore but he was able to practice again on Thursday and still expects to start against Dallas on Sunday.

It would be Kolb's first action since he was injured Oct. 30 in Arizona's 30-27 loss at Baltimore. The Cardinals are 3-1 in Kolb's absence, but his replacement John Skelton has struggled in his last two games, throwing five interceptions and no touchdowns.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt says that while Kolb got the vast majority of the first-team reps in practice on Thursday, some went to Skelton to keep him prepared either to start or take over if Kolb is knocked out of the game.
