Hankins will now miss the next four weeks with the pectoral strain, but should be available for the playoffs, given the words from Jerry Jones.

The thirty-year-old has been a solid depth piece for the Cowboys' defensive line this season, recording seven total tackles over five games since being claimed off waivers from the Las Vegas Raiders.
