IRVING, Texas – Dallas Cowboys linebacker Anthony Hitchens (right) and defensive tackle Terrell McClain (left) are battling through high ankle sprains and aren’t sure if they will be able to practice on Wednesday.

Hitchens played in 33 snaps in last week’s wild-card win against the Detroit Lions, more than the Cowboys anticipated because Rolando McClain suffered a concussion in the first half.

“I feel better this week than I did at this time last week,” Hitchens said before walking to the athletic trainer’s room for treatment.

Terrell McClain said he expected to be limited during the week after he was hurt in the first quarter. Hitchens did not practice last week and was able to play. McClain hopes to follow the same plan.

“Oh, I’m playing,” Terrell McClain said.

Right tackle Doug Free continues to get treatment on his left ankle but the Cowboys are not expecting him to be available against the Packers. He has missed the last three games.

Rolando McClain was spotted in the facility Tuesday after the Cowboys’ walkthrough. He needs to be cleared through the concussion protocol in order to play against the Packers. He is also battling a sore neck.
