IRVING, Texas — Another receiver down for the Dallas Cowboys.

Sam Hurd, the team's No. 3 wideout, left the locker room wearing a protective boot on his left foot last night after getting hurt in the Cowboys' 16-10 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in their preseason finale.

"That is a real concern, certainly," said coach Wade Phillips, who described Hurd's injury as a high ankle sprain. "That was the downer to the game."

Receivers Miles Austin (sprained right knee) and Isaiah Stanback (dislocated shoulder) were already out with injuries, Austin could be out another month after getting hurt covering a kickoff two weeks ago in Denver, and Stanback was hurt returning a kick in the last game.

That leaves the Cowboys with some questions about the health of their receivers before cutting their roster to 53 players tomorrow. Neither Phillips nor owner Jerry Jones wanted to speculate on the situation.

Hurd was hurt on the opening drive of the game, when he landed awkwardly after being tackled from behind at the end of a 35-yard reverse run.

Terrell Owens and Patrick Crayton, the Cowboys' top two receivers, didn't even play. Neither did Tony Romo nor any of the rest of the offensive or defensive starters — except for fullback Deon Anderson.

Owens and freshly reinstated Adam "Pacman" Jones didn't even bother to put on their football pants. T.O. wore warmup pants and Jones was in shorts while watching from the sideline.

The good news for the Cowboys was that Jones, acquired by Dallas from Tennessee in April, found out earlier yesterday that he has been fully reinstated from his NFL suspension and is clear to play in the regular season. The Sept. 7 opener at Cleveland will be his first NFL game since Dec. 31, 2006.

The cornerback-kick returner, who played in the first three preseason games for the Cowboys, missed all last season with the Titans after his suspension that followed an accumulation of arrests and legal problems.

"I am fully a Dallas Cowboy," Jones proclaimed before the last preseason game. "I don't have it lingering over my head, will he get reinstated, will he not get reinstated. I just have to keep myself out of bad situations like I have been doing the last six or seven months."

JAGUARS 24, REDSKINS 3

Given the poor performance of Washington's starting offense, one of the biggest cheers of the night came when rookie Colt Brennan entered the game in the second quarter against the Jacksonville, Jaguars.

The rookie quarterback from the University of Hawai'i, though still very raw for NFL, has excited fans by putting up good numbers against other teams' backups all preseason and did so again, going 13 for 18 for 119 yards.

The Jaguars held the Redskins' starters to 14 total yards in three first-quarter drives, and David Garrard, Cleo Lemon and Todd Bouman all threw a touchdown pass to lead visiting Jacksonville to a victory.
