What to look for Thursday

Summary

Wade Phillips won't say it, but it's highly unlikely many of the regulars will play in Thursday's preseason finale vs. Minnesota.

He doesn't want to risk players to injuries and wants to look at the younger players before Saturday's final cuts.

So with that in mind, I went back and looked at the play-by-play to see which starters played and did not play against the Vikings in the last preseason game of 2007:

DNP: Tony Romo, Julius Jones, Marion Barber, Ken Hamlin, Roy Williams, Anthony Henry, Bradie James, Kyle Kosier, Andre Gurode, Terrell Owens, Jason Witten, Patrick Crayton, DeMarcus Ware, Jason Ferguson and Chris Canty. Also, Terence Newman, Kevin Burnett, Terry Glenn and Greg Ellis sat because of injuries.

Three starters on offense played - Flozell Adams, Leonard Davis, Marc Colombo. Four (sort of) played on defense - Marcus Spears, Jay Ratliff, Akin Ayodele, Anthony Spencer. (Spencer is the sort of but he was the opening day starter last year)
