2:45 p.m. -- The Cowboys are getting healthier in spots, but not so much in others, and now they're monitoring Bryan Anger closely.
The two-time All-Pro punter missed practice on Friday due to illness, and it's unclear if he'll recover in time to participate in practice tomorrow. The added day should help his process, given the Cowboys don't host the Arizona Cardinals until Monday night, but his status is still one to keep an eye on.
Things could get interesting, and more challenging, for Brian Schottenheimer and the Cowboys if Anger is unable to play.
It does sound as if a contingency plan is in place, per special teams coordinator Nick Sorensen earlier this week — one that could utilize the ability of other players on the roster who have demonstrated an ability to punt (e.g., Pro Bowl tight end Jake Ferguson), but that's an emergency scenario Dallas would rather avoid, considering Anger is such a weapon for the team in helping to flip field position.
