The Cowboys are hopeful that Barber, who amassed 124 yards on only 18 attempts in the club's frustrating 33-31 Week 2 loss to the New York Giants before exiting with a strained quadriceps, will be able to return for Sunday's tilt.

| (MySportsbook) - The New York Giants are coming off their best defensive road showing in nearly 26 years. That isn't the best of news for the winless Kansas City Chiefs, who are looking to avoid going 0-4 for the first time in 29 years. Undefeated New York will try to keep the Todd Haley/Matt Cassel era in Kansas City winless for another week when the teams clash this Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. The Giants are coming off a dominating 24-0 victory at Tampa Bay last weekend that saw them hold the Buccaneers |

Tampa Bay has its share of problems as well, as evidenced by its historically bad performance in last Sunday's 24-0 home loss to the New York Giants. The Buccaneers mustered an anemic 86 total yards and five first downs, their lowest output since a 65-yard display against Green Bay on December 1, 1985.

Barber, who was held out of the team's 21-7 win over Carolina on Monday night, has been dealing with a left quadriceps strain.
