DALLAS, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber, suffering from a toe injury, may not be on the field for the upcoming game with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Barber played in last week's game against the Baltimore Ravens, but spent much of the time on the sidelines with only two carries and one reception for 7 yards. He put in little time at practice this week.

During the season, he has played 14 games, rushing for 872 yards, the best on the team, and making seven touchdowns. In the last four games, rookie Tashard Choice has started twice for Barber and gained 326 rushing yards with two touchdowns.

Quarterback Tony Romo, who missed practice Wednesday because of flu-like symptoms, is expected to be on the field Sunday. So is tight end Jason Witten, who suffered an ankle injury.
