IRVING, Texas – Wide receiver depth could be an issue for the Cowboys Sunday at Atlanta with Dez Bryant, Kevin Ogletree and Dwayne Harris banged up.

Bryant and Ogletree did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday because of hip and hamstring injuries but they were on the field Friday for the portion of practice that was open to the media. Harris was limited in Thursday’s practice because of a sore neck but he went through the special teams’ portion of the session without any apparent problem.

The Cowboys finished Thursday’s practice with practice squad receivers Danny Coale and Tim Benford taking snaps but coach Jason Garrett is hopeful the regulars will be available Sunday.

“We’ll just see how those guys do today,” Garrett said.

Running back DeMarco Murray was on the practice field in a jersey for the first time since spraining his foot but he was merely a spectator. Linebacker Dan Connor (neck), safety Matt Johnson (hamstring), center Phil Costa (ankle) and defensive end Sean Lissemore (ankle) missed third straight day of practice.
