IRVING, Texas (AP) -- The Dallas Cowboys will be without safety Ken Hamlin at least three weeks and offensive tackle Marc Columbo longer than that.


Hamlin sprained an ankle and Columbo broke his left leg and sustained
ankle ligament damage in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers.


Cowboys coach Wade Phillips said Hamlin's high ankle sprain will
sideline him 3-4 weeks. Phillips wouldn't rule out a late-season return
by Columbo, who had surgery Monday.


Cornerback Mike Jenkins severely bruised an arm muscle against the
Packers but is expected to play Sunday against the Washington Redskins.
