Claiborne Ruled Out For Remainder of Week 8
Sunday, Oct. 30
Jon Machota of the Dallas Morning News confirmed Claiborne would miss the rest of the game heading into overtime.
Claiborne, 26, went down with just under one minute remaining in regulation. He had four tackles before exiting.
Claiborne Enjoying Best Year as a Pro
In his fifth season out of LSU, Claiborne is having perhaps his best NFL campaign to date. He's recorded 22 tackles and one interception while helping anchor a surprisingly solid Cowboys secondary. Pro Football Focus has graded him out as an above-average starter all season, a major uptick from his near-bust status coming into 2016.
“He is got a lot of confidence. You see the interceptions and pass deflections,” defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli told reporters. “But it’s the tackling. His tackling has been outstanding. He has tackles for losses. He is a very sure tackler and he is really bringing a physical presence to our secondary.”
Claiborne previously suffered a concussion in a Week 6 win over the Green Bay Packers. He did not miss a game thanks to the Cowboys having a bye week.
