Warrick Dunn went to bed early Monday with a sprained ankle and a stiff neck following the Bucs' win over the Seattle Seahawks.

He has not participated in a full practice this week as the result of a pinched nerve in his back and was limited again Thursday. But Dunn, 33, sounded optimistic about his chances of recovering in time to play against the Cowboys.

"I think people are kind of surprised I'm moving around, I can turn my neck and different things,'' Dunn said. "I'm all right. I'm good.

"I turned my ankle in the first quarter and in the third quarter, I hit my head a little bit. I think that night I really felt the effects when I got him from my hits. So it was one of those games were I took a couple of shots. But I have some days off. I'm good.''
