IRVING, Texas -- Dallas running back Aveion Cason twisted
his right knee in practice, but coach Bill Parcells said the injury
won't affect the Cowboys as they prepare for their game at
Philadelphia.
Parcells said Thursday that even before Cason got hurt, he was
planning to take Erik Bickerstaff instead against the Eagles on
Sunday. The rookie was promoted from the practice squad this week
after returner/cornerback Derek Ross was released.
Results from an MRI exam done Thursday on Cason weren't
available. He got hurt in practice Wednesday.
Parcells said Bickerstaff might handle some kick returns. Zuriel
Smith and Joey Galloway also return kicks. Richie Anderson will be
the third-down back with Cason out.
