Jason Witten's status for Wednesday night's game against the New York Giants has been stuck at "doubtful" since he returned to practice for the Cowboys following a lacerated spleen injury. He did travel with the team and as tweeted by ESPN's Chris Mortensen, has been asking the Cowboys to let him sign a medical waiver to play against the Giants. The Cowboys have been refusing him, according to Mortensen's tweet.
Jason Witten Wants To Sign Medical Waiver To Play
Jason Witten has persistently offered to sign medical waiver. #Cowboys won't accept it. Made trip, doubtful, "game-time decision." #NFL32

[Update: Witten has denied to NBC the waiver story.]
Though he has been cleared to play in Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks, it looks like we won't know whether or not the seven-time pro bowler will take the field for the Cowboys until kickoff on Wednesday night.
