Lineup Change to Watch: If Jones can’t go, will new punter Brian Moorman keep Devin Hester at bay?
By Rainer Sabin / Reporter

The sprained knee that has relegated punter Chris Jones to the sidelines came at a particularly inopportune time. Jones had performed well this season, limiting return yardage by angling the ball near the sidelines. And his skills would come in handy this week when Dallas faces one of the NFL’s elite return specialists, Devin Hester.
Alas, the injury to Jones, listed as doubtful, is expected to force Brian Moorman to deal with Hester. Moorman, signed last week after being released by Buffalo, has 12 seasons of NFL experience but performed poorly this year. His net average of 32.7 yards was the second-lowest in the league after three games.
The Cowboys hope Moorman will fare better now that he is in Dallas.
