IRVING, Texas -- Marion Barber walked out to the practice field in full gear and flashed a thumb's up.
His tight left thigh was feeling fine on Wednesday -- or, at least, good enough to give it a test run.
Barber strained his leg during a 35-yard run late in the fourth quarter of Dallas' loss to the New York Giants on Sunday night that might've been a 42-yard touchdown run had he not come up lame. He said it "felt like a bad cramp" and is hopeful of playing against Carolina on Monday night.
If not, the Cowboys have two capable backups in Felix Jones and Tashard Choice.
