It's based on my experience treating these types of injuries with the knowledge he said he pulled bone off. The rest is just a very good professional opinion. My best guess is he pulled the adductor off although it could be another muscle.

Broken fibula

Yep. The Giants game was always the barometer. Another MRI is going to be done this week after Vikings game. Giants game is optimistic but not impossible

He's pulled a piece of bone off the pelvis likely (no X-ray seen by me) the symphysis. You want that bone attached to the muscle to heal to the bone in a bony union. It's possible there will be fibrous tissue including scar tissue between the pieces of bone forming a fibrous union which is not as strong over the long run. Might not make any difference though.
The doc on TV did say tearing a piece of bone will allow it to heal stronger. But as far as how long that will take- nobody knows for sure. Let's just keep winning so Mo can heal up for the playofff push.

Report: No setbacks for Morris Claiborne, could return soon

A bit of good news could be on the way forMorris Claiborne and the Dallas Cowboys.

Per Mike Leslie of WFAA Channel 8 in Dallas, the veteran cornerback is on schedule with the rehabilitation from his groin injury and could see the field again before the conclusion of the 2016 regular season.

This would be just what the doctored ordered for a Cowboys team that gave up 449 passing yards and three passing touchdowns to Commanders quarterback Kirk Cousins on Thanksgiving.

Claiborne has been out since Oct. 30 when he suffered a groin injury versus the Philadelphia Eagles. He has since avoided surgery as the team has taken more of a wait-and-see approach up to this point.

Recently the fifth-year veteran himself stated the injury is actually a portion of his pelvic bone which had broken off, but stated he was advised it should heal on its own.
Nice avatar. No disrespect

The fibula is in the leg.

It's an old joke about Jerry. He was quoted as saying that in a Texas Monthly article in the late 90s. A player went down in practice and he assuredly told the interviewer that it was a broken fibula. It turned out to be a sprained ankle or something a lot more minor.

I'm fine with him healing up the next few weeks, maybe get some playing time late in the season just as a tune up for the playoffs

Need Mo for playoffs. Not a big secret. Having a bye week on wildcard weekend helps.

good point. Dallas has potentially two extended breaks coming up. 10 days after Vikings game and 2 weeks if they get first round bye.
