IRVING, Texas -- Punter Chris Jones kicked once during the portion of practice open to the media Friday. There is some question regarding Jones' status for Sunday's game at Baltimore because of a sprained knee.

Jones missed the Week 4 loss to the Chicago Bears and was replaced by Brian Moorman, who is not available to play this week because of a groin strain.

The Cowboys will work out punters T.J. Conley, Daniel Sepulveda, Chas Henry today at 12:30 p.m.

Also, one day after saying he should play in Sunday's game, outside linebacker Anthony Spencer was watching Friday's practice session. Spencer has a strained pectoral muscle and said he did some limited work during Thursday's practice. Yet, Spencer was wearing a baseball cap during the open session.

Cornerback Morris Claiborne (illness) returned to practice but had a slight limp during drills. He's wearing a sleeve on his left knee. Center Ryan Cook (hamstring) also attended practice, but Phil Costa (back) was getting snaps with the first team. Costa, the starter, has missed the last three games but is expected to return for the Ravens game.
