IRVING, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys linebacker Bruce Carter said he was told his strained right quadriceps will need 10-14 days to heal, knocking him out of Sunday's game against theHouston Texans.

"It's just one of those things where the body has to heal it just with him," Carter said. "Just rehab basically. I've just got to keep doing my rehab and I should be fine. ... Hopefully it goes a lot faster than that. I want to get back out there."

Carter was hurt in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys' win against the New Orleans Saints, while chasing down running back Khiry Robinson on a 62-yard run. He was replaced by Rolando McClain in the nickel defense.

Not surprising. I wouldn't be surprised if he misses more like 4-5 games, those quad strains can linger.

It's a shame, because he's looked good this year and seems to be taking on a leadership role out there. Hopefully he bounces back quickly.

So, see him in December?

Big loss. Wilbur worries me in that spot.

Pretty sure Durant moves to strong side and hitches plays weak side . We'll see Durant and McClaine in Nickle .

It'd be nice if he's back after the Seattle game. We're most likely gonna be 4-2 at that point about to play back-to-back division games that are gonna be critical.

I like that lineup better than Wilbur stepping in....

I'd rather put Durant at the SAM and Hitchens at the WILL. not liking if wilbur is in there for extended minutes.

LOL! typing pretty much the same thing when you posted.

Sucks, but next man up.Hitchens was ok in his first action vs Stl.

 

[sideon]

Don't need him for this game but we need all hands on deck in Seattle.

I just wish the D could stay healthy.....geez!!!!

Just play the nickel 90% of the time. I'd rather see Moore on the field than Wilber/Hitchens unless it's a short yardage situation

 

[Stash]

What about playing Toomer?

texans are a big boy offense.

 

[AbeBeta]

very precise estimate there. Tells me it is likely to be wrong

That Hitchens pick is looking pretty good.

I wish we could get a mash-up of the @Risen Star "he can't play posts" They were legion.

I thought Hitchens played the middle very well in the STL game. Is there any benefit to having McClain at SLB, Hitchens at MLB, and Durant at WLB? Heck, mix it up and move all three around. Let the other team guess who's playing where.

Another injury prone LBer.

I hope they play Toomer when Durant eventually gets injured.
