Cowboys TE Jason Witten (spleen) told reporters today that he will play in Wednesday night's NFL opener IF/IF he gets medically cleared Tuesday.
Expect nothing less out of Witten, who hasn't missed a game since 2003. "If I get cleared, we're playing," he said. "It's the only way, I believe, you can approach the game. I think people know that's the only way I'm playing." Expect to have a status update on Witten by Tuesday evening.
Of course Jason is confident and on the optimistic side, hoping he can play. He's a competitor, he wants to play and help his team any way he can. But the medical staff will have the upper hand as to whether he starts or sits. Continue to monitor Witten's status up to game day.
