​Ever since the Dallas Cowboys drafted cornerback Morris Claiborne in the first round back in 2012, expectations were set pretty high.





Since then, Claiborne has had some mixed success in the league, but he's mostly fallen short of reaching the high ceiling that was set for him.





That is, until this season.

​​After playing the first five games, Claiborne is statistically the best cornerback in the league this year and has been an integral piece to the Cowboys success.





In a division with the likes of the New York Giants wide receiver trio and the Washington Redskins DeSean Jackson, it's essential for the Cowboys to have a shutdown CB like Claiborne.





With Claiborne limited at Wednesday's practice, there was some speculation going around about his availability for the Cowboys game this week against the Packers.





However, it seems like he'll be ready to go.

It looks like Josh Norman isn't the only CB Odell should be watching out for.​​
