Dallas Cowboys: Owner and general manager Jerry Jones told 105.3 The Fan that since his team has secured the No. 4 seed in the NFC playoffs, the players who won’t play against the New York Giants on Sunday “are going to be pretty obvious.” He said All-Pro guard Zack Martin, who has struggled with left knee issues all season, won’t play, but Jones wouldn’t detail who else could be in street clothes on Sunday. Jones also said the team will continue to work on the offensive side of the ball. “We have a lot in our playbook that people haven’t seen yet,” Jones said. “I don’t think that we’re satisfied with where we are offensively right now, relative to ways that we can utilize.”New York Giants: Receiver Odell Beckham Jr. didn’t practice on Wednesday and is a question mark for Sunday’s finale against Dallas. Head coach Pat Shurmur said Beckham and linebacker Alec Ogletree could play Sunday. “They’re both feeling better,” Shurmur said, adding, “We’ll just have to see.” Beckham hasn’t played since Week 13 and has been sidelined by a hematoma in his left quad. Ogletree has a concussion. Tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion), receiver Russell Shepard (ankle) and defensive lineman Mario Edwards (calf) also were held out of practice on Wednesday.Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles need to beat Washington on Sunday and see Chicago defeat Minnesota to make the NFC playoffs, so maybe head coach Doug Pederson will call Bears coach Matt Nagy to talk shop. “I might. Maybe I’ve done that, we’ll have to see. Maybe I’ve already done that this morning,” Pederson said. Pederson and Nagy are former colleagues who worked together on Andy Reid’s coaching staffs in Philadelphia and Kansas City. While such a call wouldn’t violate any rules, Vikings coach Mike Zimmer seemed perturbed to have to field questions on the topic on Wednesday. “I don’t care who he called,” Zimmer said. “I really don’t. I didn’t hear that. But I don’t care who Doug calls or who anybody calls.”Washington Redskins: The San Diego Fleet of the new Alliance of American Football league are hoping Redskins quarterback Josh Johnson will head west once the NFL season ends. The Fleet made Johnson the No. 1 overall choice in the league’s draft, and general manager Dave Boller would love to see Johnson in the new league. “From day one, when we sign people, I say, ‘Hey, if an NFL team calls, you can go,’ ” Boller said. “That’s what we want, and then hopefully they come back. (Johnson) doesn’t have a big ego and he has something to prove. He wants to show all these (NFL) teams that he deserved a better chance.” But will Johnson show up in San Diego? “We’re hoping the big guy comes with us, but we’ll see. I still hope he comes back. There’s a chance,” Boller said. “I’m always a glass-half-full guy.”
