Dak is hurt - ankle boot!

[KingCorcoran]

If Trey Lance throws three TD's and passes for 250 yards while running for another 60 in his first preseason game?

This site and every other site dedicated to the Cowboys will go absolutely nuclear.

Of course, that scenario has less than a percent of probability.....but it would be fun to see everyone's reaction.

If Lance can’t beat out a one-legged quarterback it will go nuclear.

Good. Minor foot sprain in July is nothing to worry about. I’m not going to worry unless he can’t practice or something is said about it in TC. Until TC this is a non story IMO.

It can't be a minor foot sprain. If you played a lot of sports, you probably got minor ankle sprains. They need no tending to. Let alone a boot.

Accidents happen. Dude's a choker in the playoffs, but I hope he recovers quickly and cleanly with no lingering effects.

A minor foot sprain does not warrant a walking boot. Unless you have previous injuries you don't want to aggravate...which now brings into question the overall durability.

I agree that this does not threaten Dak as QB1, but this team spins EVERYTHING.

 

[KJJ]

Yup.

And Lance would be QB1.

That would all depend on if he ends up the back up this season camp and what we do during the off-season and the draft next April. There would be a competition for QB1.

Fans spin EVERYTHING as well.

Why can't fans take what was said at face value? It is minor and the boot is precautionary. Minor injuries can become more, if not properly taken care of.
And for a professional athlete, it is a good thing to do.
For anyone else, yeah most would wrap it or just walk around on it. As it is not needed to walk from your car to your work area or desk.

But fans want to make it a major issue more than it really is, or may be.

Because wearing a walking boot to go deep sea fishing is a ridiculous excuse.

well that’s a resent picture due to the leg tattoo. all i got to say is where is the little baby, left her with the nanny i guess.

 

[MojaveJT]

He’s hurt now so JJ will finally write him a check. He did the same thing after Dak’s foot was facing the wrong way 4 years ago. It’s the JJ thing to do.

 

[Momanpr100]

Don't get these people's hopes up, I like seeing them miserable.

Thoughts and prayers....Cabo strikes again

Lol what is it with the Cowboys and Cabo. It's like the Madden curse.

If Dak misses time, it means more snaps at QB1 for Lance.

Might as well get the Kid ready sooner than later.

Spin and speculation are 2 different things my friend. Fans are INVITED to speculate...and fans DETEST spin from their teams. Well...the smart ones do.

Fans certainly need to be patient as we only have a fraction of the story here, but it does create a ton of interesting discussion given the situation the Cowboys are in.

You bring up durability which could be a massive one. Dak is now on the "wrong" side of 30 and since 2020 has only had one injury free season which was last year. This may end up being a very minor issue for Dak and he may not miss a single snap due to this injury, but I could certainly see it effecting how much and how long Jerry/Stephen would be interested in extending him for.

Why is it? Things can happen on a boat just as it can walking in your own home. Especially as the boat in water is not always stable.

Yes and I’m one of the smart ones. so why does anything a team says is a spin on the topic.
It is the fans that spin it, and there are many not so smart fans, as we witness in here every day.

Why should he hold out when he’s going to be a free agent at the end of the season and choose the highest bidder? He’s going to get paid big by either the Cowboys or someone else.

But why fake an injury that would cost him preparation time? This could end up affecting how he plays and end up costing him money.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Reports now saying Dak is out of the walking boot already.
