Ware feeling good?

Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware appears to be in good spirits, despite dealing with an injured left knee. We spotted him in the training room Monday afternoon getting treatment. While sitting on the training table, Ware laughed as media members teased with running back Marion Barber.

Ware flashed his big smile and got in a hearty laugh. He didn't practice on Monday but is expected to return at some point this week. The Cowboys will sorely need his pass rush ability in the four-game run that starts with the Steelers on Sunday.

Ware leads the NFL with 15 sacks, which is a single-season career high for the playmaker. It is the most sacks in a season by a Cowboy since Randy White had 16 in 1978. The team record was set a year earlier in 1977 by Harvey Martin with 23. Can Ware break the team record? He has four games to go.
