DeMarcus Ware has dismissed reports that he could miss three to four weeks with a quadriceps injury, suggesting that he could play this weekend.

The Dallas Cowboys defensive end believes that he will be a game-time decision ahead of the team's clash with the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

The 31-year-old told the team's website: "I'm not going to be out three or four weeks. I don't know where that came from, but somebody said it. My recovery's pretty fast, and I'm feeling pretty good today.

"I think when you look at it, the bigger picture is always important. You don't want to ever be defined as just a number. You want to be somebody that when you get out there, you're wreaking havoc and playing. If I can do that this week, I'm going to get out there and play.

"I know that I can get through injuries, but you never can [predict] what one injury's worse than another. Each week, just like I took it with that injury, you've got to take it that whole week and make a game-day decision."

Ware has made four sacks so far this season.
