IRVING, Texas (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys activated running back Alonzo Coleman off their practice squad Friday after Marion Barber missed his fourth consecutive practice with a dislocated right pinkie toe.

The move gives the Cowboys more depth at running back if Barber can't play Sunday at Pittsburgh. With Felix Jones already out for the season, the only running back behind Barber was rookie Tashard Choice, who has 147 yards on 30 carries.

Coach Wade Phillips, meeting with reporters before practice Friday, offered no update on Barber's status. He said Thursday the possibility of Barber playing was "a little more doubtful."

"I think everybody felt good that he would be able to go, but he hasn't been able to go yet," Phillips said Thursday.

Coleman went undrafted out of Hampton in 2007. He's been on the practice squad most of the past two seasons.

"He's a guy who knows what to do and knows our offense," Phillips said.

Cornerback Quincy Butler was cut to make room for Coleman.

Yeah I don't think he's playin. Dude hasn't practiced all week. The Steelers is the last team you want to go into a game with while not having practiced. It don't matter though, the Dallas D can't possibly replicate the sheer terror and pain that the Steelers D inflicts.

Eat it Cowgirls. You will go down just like the cheaters.

If we held Portis to 51 yards, no one else in the league is going to do much better.

They can go back to time in Jiga's machine and bring back Emmitt in his prime it just won't matter. WE WILL DOMINATE ANY AND EVERY RB WHO PLAYS AGAINST US.

Thank you, come again.

Bulls-eye! It is for this reason, we will take down the Titans in a few weeks! If a team has to rely on Kerry Collins to beat the team that has the #1 defense across the board, forget about it!

I was just watching NFC Playbook.

They said after the Cowboys destroyed the Seahawks on their first 3 drives, the Seahawk players wanted to BLITZ .... so they started bringing it and Romo was toast for the most part. I am sure the Steelers are going to do the same.

Barber or not, they won't pass against us, in Heinz Field, in December VS this DEFENSE

They were done even with Barber. Now that they don't have him or Jones, they're either dilusional in thinking that they'll establish the run with their 3rd string TB, or plan to beat us relying on Romo, a roll-out QB, playing in snowy, 20 degree weather, with Roy Williams on a sore foot and TO who doesn't like going across the middle.

Oh, this is going to be fun. :tt1 :tt1
