Jason Witten Active For Cowboys Vs. Giants

Jason Witten is active for Wednesday night's season-opener between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants.

The status of the Cowboys' tight end has been in question, as he continues to recover from a lacerated spleen he sustained in Dallas' preseason opener against the Oakland Raiders. However, he has been practicing with the team since Saturday, and looked ready to go in pregame warmups, according to multiple reports.

While Witten will be on the field, several Cowboys have been officially listed as inactive. The list includes CB Mike Jenkins, S Matt Johnson, S Danny McCray, LB Kyle Wilber, G David Arkin, TE Colin Cochart and DT Jay Ratliff.

Kickoff is scheduled from Metlife Stadium at 7:30 p.m. CT.
