Dallas has plenty of injury issues, and once again its prized corner is near the top of the list.

The Dallas Cowboys won a very critical game against the New York Giants on Sunday, but they also have some injury concerns going into Thanksgiving.

Dallas watched cornerback Morris Claiborne and wide receiver/special teams ace Dwayne Harris suffer hamstring ailments, per the team site. It is unclear if either or both will be able to go against the Oakland Raiders on Thursday afternoon. If Claiborne can't play, that puts more pressure on corners Brandon Carr and Orlando Scandrick to lock down Oakland's limited weapons.

Per the Fort Werth Star-Telegram, Jerry Jones does not believe Claiborne will be able to play, along with linebacker Sean Lee who is still recovering from a hamstring problem.

The Giants also suffered a serious injury with center Jim Cordle sustaining a partial tear of his patellar tendon. Surprisingly, Cordle is still aiming to play against the Washington Redskins on Sunday in an absolute must-win for Big Blue.

Washington was drubbed Monday night by the San Francisco 49ers, but did not appear to suffer any serious injuries, perhaps the only good news for the Redskins.
