TIDBIT: Dallas Cowboys cornerback Anthony Henry, one of the top players on the NFL's fifth-ranked defense, practiced Friday for the first time since suffering a groin injury Oct. 30 against Arizona. Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he wants to see how Henry and backup safety Willie Pile look in practice today before deciding whether they will play at Philadelphia on Monday. The Cowboys (5-3) list Henry and Pile as questionable, meaning they have a 50-50 chance of playing. Pile also hurt his groin against Arizona. "They looked OK," Parcells said after Friday's workout. Parcells indicated Henry might play but not start. "If they can function, I will play them," Parcells said. "If I think they are a little limited, maybe I dress them and not start (Henry)."
