Damien Wilson hurt, freak paintball accident

[RS12]

Damien Wilson won't be ready to practice when the Dallas Cowboys begin training camp on Saturday.

The Cowboys linebacker got hit in the eye with a paintball a few weeks ago, owner Jerry Jones announced on Friday during the State of the Cowboys press conference.

Wilson did travel with the club to California, but the team will use some caution with bringing him back until his eye sight is completely back to normal. It'll likely be 2-3 weeks of missed time for Wilson. Wilson will start camp on the active/non-football injury list.

Yah, I remember a baseball player once going on the DL for sneezing too hard and pulling a muscle. Conjures up those memories.

It isn't a freak accident if you aren't wearing goggles...

Exactly. How is it a 'freak' accident? It's paint. It splatters, duh. Of course it will get into the eye if you are hit near it without goggles.

Yea I saw that episode Sunday, love the show.

No goggles? If not, a very dumb decision by a guy not assured a roster spot

He and Wilber are the top 2 ST tacklers and some of the better performers there in the NFL.

Mend well.
