IRVING, Texas (AP) - Injured Dallas Cowboys linebacker Greg Ellis is getting closer to making his season debut.
Dallas coach Wade Phillips says Ellis had his best practice yet today -- performing so well that "there's some outside shot" he could play Sunday against St. Louis.
Ellis is trying to come back from a torn Achilles' tendon in November and a bout with bursitis that flared up at the start of training camp.
Phillips says Ellis hasn't had any big setbacks since returning to workouts two weeks ago.
Last Friday was his first time in team drills.
Cornerback Terence Newman practiced today -- but not with the first team.
Phillips says Newman isn't ready to start now, but that could change by Sunday.
Newman is battling a problem on the bottom of his foot that sidelined him from the first two games.
