Witten has scan of his spleen and will get results later today

Tight end Jason Witten expects to hear Tuesday evening what a scan of his injured spleen shows. Witten had a scan Tuesday morning. He said he will get the results when he meets with the doctor later today.

Witten lacerated his spleen in the exhibition opener against the Raiders on a hit by Oakland linebacker Rolando McClain. He worked on resistance cords during Monday's practice as part of his rehab.

The Cowboys are hopeful their All-Pro tight end can play in the season opener against the Giants, but he has to be fully cleared before stepping on the field.
