"With running back Marion Barber expected to miss Sunday's game, and potentionally next week's game against the Eagles, Lonyae Miller will get his opportunity to dress out as the team's third running back. The Cowboys activated Miller from the practice squad, placing defensive end Sean Lissemore (ankle) on injured reserve.

"Since I came here with the Dallas Cowboys [I've waited for this]," Miller said. "I never really wondered or anticipated. I just continued to work. It doesn't go unnoticed. The coaches are always watching. The owner is always watching. Somebody is always watching. Every day I go out and practice, I just treat it like a game and just take advantage of it, work on my critique, work on my craft and all of that stuff.""
