ARLINGTON -- Cowboys cornerback Morris Claiborne missed his second consecutive game because of hamstring and ankle injuries. Rookie Byron Jones started in his place.
After Thursday's 33-14 loss to Carolina, Claiborne said he'd be ready to go when the Cowboys travel to Washington on Dec. 7.
"Definitely," Claiborne said. "I feel like if this game was Sunday I would have been able to play. But just because it was a short week it was better to be safe."
How frustrating was it to sit and watch?
"It was very frustrating, especially when you go out there and you have no part of doing anything," Claiborne said.
Jones finished with two tackles and a team-high two pass breakups.
