NFL Network's Mike Mayock reports teams have injury concerns with Boise State LB Leighton Vander Esch.

Vander Esch's neck injury has removed him from some draft boards. He also had a pinched C-spine nerve and LCL sprain at Boise State. This has been out there, but it confirms teams have flagged Vander Esch's medicals. Vander Esch was given a passing grade for his neck issue at the Combine.

Dr. Jerry looked the x-rays and found nothing wrong

Local Cowboys updates report he may not play again until the playoffs. That is, if they make the playoffs. We'll see.

So basically, he won’t play again until 2020. What a horrible pick.

It’s probably over. Yet another 1st round fiasco from this dumbazz franchise. We are terrible in every phase of the game. Depressing.

Man I hope not! That would make the past three top draft picks would have been wasted.

Look the NFL and all teams including ours employ and use some of the best doctors available to them..
those acting as if LVE was only cleared by Cowboy docs are such negative troll hating poop stirrers ever..the talk of a bust as well..terrible fans..

His neck issues that he has or was born with have ZERO to do with this, his stinger was severe and they are being cautious as they tried bringing him back too soon and it failed..

I saw the hit in slow-mo that caused the stinger injury, hes lucky he didnt break something..


Hes not bust , we saw flashes as rookie and the defense on whole has been bad for whatever reasons, mostly bad DL up the middle and scheme/playcalling..

Give the dramatic replies a rest.. most of us know the truth and simply hes injured will be fine and it has zero to do with the pre-draft diagnosis which he was cleared..

Ha! I'm glad I am not the only one the meds do that to!

So far, the discs have held up very well. I worry more about all the screws and rods breaking. But I don't think about it or it would drive me insane.

Glad to hear you both have a positive outlook, it's easy for chronic pain to put you in less than a good mood. I have a great wife too and I think that makes a huge difference. My daughters both moved to Texas while I'm still stuck in Virginia but I visit them quite a bit. And Facetime is a wonderful thing, they always brighten my day. I'll eventually get back home when my wife retires.

Was great to heat y'alls stories although I wish it didn't have to be about this subject. Hope y'all have a great weekend.

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Keep the positive outlook.

True what you say, despite the fact the fans want to see this team actually win a game, this game is truly meaningless.

I never root for a loss, and the team doesnt play that way. But if you think the team isnt going to play this smart and sit him when knowing even if they lose the real game that matters most is next week then IDK what to tell you. Another week of rest is whats best for him and this team.

He is the perfect Cowboy. Tantalizing potential. Ultimately disappointing.

They should rest any starters that just have a hangnail this game. It’s meaningless and perhaps un winnable. Our super bowl is the following week anyway

Even if we make the playoffs shut him down for the season. No reason to rush him back

LVE will likely be out the rest of the season. You don’t mess around with neck injuries. He could play in the playoffs if the Cowboys make it that far, we’ll just have to see. Expectations were so high for him heading into this season but it’s been a disappointing year.

Can the Cowboys lock it up this week? Ill give you one answer and its not yes.

You just made my point.

No, you haven't locked up a spot yet. You don't rest players or sacrifice games until you have.

I’m starting to get the feeling he ain’t never going to play again. If he is smart retires in offseason hopefully he didn’t blow his money and can live comfortably no point in risking becoming paralyzed.

When Garrett first mentioned the injury at his presser he said he didn’t “think” it was career threatening. The fact he even said something like that makes you wonder.
