Byron Jones to get second opinion on shoulder
OXNARD, Calif. -- Dallas Cowboys first-round pick Byron Jones will get a second opinion on his left shoulder that was injured during Sunday’s practice.
Jones did not practice on Monday against the St. Louis Rams, but after practice he said an MRI came back negative and he felt like he would not need a lot of time off to recover.
Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said the team is confident Jones will be OK, but he had surgery on the shoulder last season at Connecticut.
“Obviously we’ve got a lot invested there and we want to make sure we do it right,” Stephen Jones said.
Byron Jones took part in the morning special teams’ walk-through. He suffered the injury in a collision with cornerback Morris Claiborne on a deep crossing route. He said he regained most of his strength not long after getting checked out by the doctors and has a full range of motion.
Jones took part in the Monday morning walk-through before getting the MRI.
“I was just worried about the shoulder because you don’t hit it that hard too often,” Byron Jones said. “I was worried, but after I got up and moved around a little bit I felt fine.”
Left guard Ronald Leary and defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford did not take part in practice because of back stiffness. This is the second time Leary has missed a practice in camp because of his back.
Safety Barry Church left practice early with rib cartilage issues that Stephen Jones said had been bothering him for a little bit. Ken Bishop also left practice early.
