IRVING, Texas – Even with only a slight chance at being one of the top two seeds in the NFC, Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett will rest players for Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Washington Redskins.

In order to get homefield advantage, the Cowboys need to beat Washington, have the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions tie in their meeting and need the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals to lose.

Even with a loss to the Redskins they can still get a first-round bye ... if thethe Seahawks and Cardinals lose.

With the Cowboys playing the early game, they will not know what happens in Arizona or Seattle.

“A lot of different scenarios can come up in this situation,” Garrett said. “Our plan is to practice as well as we can practice and go play our best football game with the guys who are available to us. We’re excited about that opportunity. That’s what we do here. We focus on each day. We focus on being our best and that’s what we’re going to do this week getting ready for the Redskins. We don’t really concern ourselves with all of the different scenarios.”

Garrett said DeMarco Murray (hand), Zack Martin (ankle) and Jason Witten (knee) came out of Sunday’s win against the Indianapolis Colts fine. Doug Free is dealing with a bone spur issue that kept him out of the game. Josh Brent has missed the last two games with a calf injury but was running sprints Sunday in pre-game warmups.

The Cowboys have won three straight games to secure their first NFC East title since 2009, but the bulk of this team has not experienced a lot of success. Garrett said he wants to keep his team sharp and focused with the playoffs ahead.

“There are some teams who are more mature, maybe they have been there before, they know how to handle that situation, rest and healing up might be more important to them,” Garrett said. “But our football team – we need to play. We need to go play and play well. It starts with practice. It starts with our preparation, and then when the game starts go play as well as you can play.”
