Nursing a strained quadriceps muscle in his left leg, Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barberreceived treatment Tuesday morning and hopes to play against the Panthers on Monday, a league source told ESPN.com on Tuesday.
An MRI taken Monday morning confirmed the strain. Coach Wade Phillips said the Cowboys would have to "wait and see on that" when asked about Barber's status during Monday's news conference. The Cowboys will see how Barber's quad responds to treatment over the next few days and then make a decision.
Barber pulled up lame at the end of a 35-yard run in the fourth quarter like a sniper shot at him.
in the Cowboys' 33-31 loss to the Giants on Sunday night.
Television station KXAS-TV in Dallas-Fort Worth cited anonymous sources in reporting on Tuesday that Barber will miss one to two weeks, but the Cowboys initially said the running back was "50-50." Now, it appears to be a waiting game
