Cowboys' David Irving was in car accident due to concussion

[waving monkey]

The Cowboys’ pass rush was nowhere near what it had been through the first part of the 2017 season. Through 12 games, DeMarcus Lawrence and David Irving had wrecked the league to the tune of 19.5 quarterback takedowns. That was even more impressive considering Irving had missed the first four contests with a suspension.

That all fell down when Irving missed the rematch with the Giants in Week 14 due to a concussion. Fans often times dismiss the severity of concussions, mostly because that’s been the NFL’s modus operandi for decades upon decades. Hearing Irving’s story of why his concussion ended his promising season, through the words of CBS Sports’ Mike Fisher, provide plenty of insight into how serious it was. Irving was involved in an accident while driving his daughter to school.

Does this guy need to rethink football?

This is like the third story now that shows he had serious issues post concussion.

One more bad concussion and this guy is toast. Oh well. Another potential good player down the drain.

Like I said, I’d trade him for a 2nd round pick in a heartbeat.

It shows more that the team needs to reevaluate their protocol. He got concussed, stayed in the game, and likely took another.

That's not a guy who has a poor long-term outlook. It is a team that failed to protect their player.

This sucks to hear on so many different levels. First and foremost is his own well being, I wish him a good recovery if there is such a thing with major concussions.

I believe he’s being sarcastic.

And who would do that for a guy with concussion issues lol?

its a 4th maybe 5th at this point.... 2nd was last week.

Concussion protocol is handled by the NFL not the team.

If anyone thinks that Dallas is going to vacate from Irving ...
ie.... Gregory

The investment begins, we will save another desperate soul.

I believe I have become tone deaf on cowboyzone. That's twice today.I apologize to all.

 

[panchucko]

I wonder if he banged his head in the fender bender

pull that monkey wax out then.

 

[Melonfeud]

I've not clicked the O P's link ,but would I be wrong in my assumption that #95's concussion stems from that waylaying
mo-doc hit he put on Kirk Cousins in our last game against the skins?
As that is the last time I recall seeing/ hearing about him as being a contributing factor on the field.

 

[NorthTexan95]

The writer forgot that Irving was suspended the first four games of the season when Lawrence had the majority of his sacks. This reinforces that defensive tackle should still be a priority for us in the draft.

Guess you assuming WE are the only team aware of his issues lol
