Parnell blew a save on opening day against Washington and the next day it was revealed he had partially torn right elbow ligament.INDIANAPOLIS - Colts safety Mike Adams knows all about Dallas home-field advantage.Theres that massive video board, the sights around the field and the Texas-sized crowd. Theyre all potential distractions even for an 11-year veteran like Adams. So Adams has spent this week counselling teammates who are about to play their first game at AT&T Stadium about the dangers theyll face Sunday.Ive been there before and I had to gaze around, Adams said after travelling there last season with Denver. I tell the young guys Go out there in pregame and start gazing. Start looking up, see how long the screen is, from the 20 (yard line) to the 20 (yard line). Just get it all out of your system because once that balls snapped and once the game starts going, youve got to stay focused.The Colts (10-4) cant afford to get discombobulated by its surroundings in Dallas.While a four-game winning streak has given Indy its second straight AFC South title and at least one home playoff game, the Colts, currently the AFCs No. 3 seed, still have plenty of work remaining.A loss this week or next could drop them into the No. 4 spot, though two wins would give Indy a longshot chance of moving into one of the top two spots and claiming a first-round bye.Its not just about playoff position, either.Andrew Luck is trying to right a suddenly turnover-prone offence, and coach Chuck Pagano is urging the Colts to get rid of the penalties. Indy has had 12 turnovers and 29 penalties over the past four weeks.The NFC East-leading Cowboys (10-4) pose even bigger challenges. Tony Romo has thrown 28 TD passes and just eight interceptions this season, receiver Dez Bryant and tight end Jason Witten pose potentially problematic matchups and nobodys sure what to expect out of DeMarco Murray after the NFLs leading rusher had surgery to repair a broken bone in his left hand Monday. Murray has practiced this week and the Colts expect him to play this weekend.But the stadium itself creates another obstacle.Its probably one of the biggest things that Im trying to educate our guys on through other people that have been there, played there and try to get them ready and prepared, Pagano said. I think what happens is you can go there and get enamoured with alll the things that Ive heard and researched about the stadium itself, the (video board) that covers the entire field and everything else that goes along with that stadium.ddddddddddddPagano was so worried he considered leaving one day early so the Colts could hold a Saturday walkthrough at Jerry World.The fact that its even being discussed so much this week plays right into the Cowboys hands. Indy hasnt been to Dallas since 2006, three years before the Cowboys new opened, and the Colts havent won in Dallas since 1996.I think thats one of the great things that Mr. (Jerry) Jones does is create an environment, a stadium thats just so unique and special, Romo said, referring to the Cowboys team owner.Adams and some of the other Colts who have played in Dallas more recently dont expect it to be any different this weekend, especially with the Cowboys chasing a division title.They just want Indianapolis to focus on football.Its like a spectacle, Colts linebacker DQwell Jackson said. One thing you really have to understand is you have to stay in the moment, understand why youre there because you can get misled by the big (video board), the theatrics going on around you. Its hard enough to play a football game, let alone all the theatrics they have going on in that stadium.Notes: Receiver T.Y. Hilton (hamstring), right tackle Gosder Cherilus (groin) and right guard Hugh Thornton (knee) all missed practice for the second straight day. Thorntons backup, Joe Reitz (ankle), also missed a second straight practice. Pagano has not said if he will give any of his injured players extra rest Sunday. ... Cornerback Vontae Davis (groin) and linebacker Erik Walden (knee), both starters, were limited participants Thursday. Jackson and return specialist Josh Cribbs were full participants in practice after resting Wednesday. ... One other player who could sit Sunday is receiver Reggie Wayne, who has been battling a torn left triceps and an injured left elbow but he has not missed practice this week. After last weekends victory over Houston, Wayne said he intends to do things his way the rest of the season — which means practicing every day.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFLBlackhawks Jerseys StoreCheap Wild JerseysCheap Red Wings JerseysCheap Maple Leafs JerseysPenguins Jerseys StoreCapitals Jerseys For SaleBlues Jerseys StoreCheap Kings JerseysAdidas Lightning JerseysStars Jerseys For SaleCheap Predators JerseysDucks StoreSharks Jerseys For SaleCheap Sabres JerseysRangers Jerseys For Sale ' ' '
