David Johnson is the reason health is the victory

[dallasdave]

And knowing he would still win the rushing title.

That was the cherry on top

 

[Roadtrip635]

Sucks to hear that, he's a great player and carried the team all season.

 

[Maxmadden]

Just sad, what an awesome running back.

If we weren't guaranteed a playoff spot. Elliot would have undoubtedly broke Dickerson's rookie rushing record. But it's all about the team records at this point.

The extra rest will be beneficial to him and he should be hungry come playoff time and..... we should feed him.

today. Awful ACL tear on a normal tackle. Glad we'll be healthy in two weeks

Oh no. It's football. Things happen. I hate it for him. But you can't play scared.

But it was nice to see Zeke just standing and kicking back.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

They didn't play scared. They played cautious because they were in a good position with HFA secured.

Was saying in general. Didn't say anybody specific played scared

He did NOT tear his ACL. He will be ready for next year.

Initial tests on Cardinals' RB David Johnson's knee showed meniscus damage, ACL intact, per source. MRI on Monday for further clarity.

Good news! Hate to see any player get hurt.

 

[CATCH17]

The Cowboys were smart about it today.

I applaud them.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Injury can happen by not playing as hard, it can happen in warm ups, it can happen going out in a route. Injuries happen and it's unfortunate for sure but you can't play scared because of it. This is the wrong sport for that

You are more likely to get injured in a game than in practice or warming up at this time of the season.

Sounds good though.

That was no normal tackle. But I get your point.

A meniscus tear is not a good thing for a running back. Makes him a candidate for microfracture surgery down the line.

Sure, but it could have been worse. It could be a meniscus tear along with ACL and MCL injuries. I'd still be sweating it until after the MRI results.

Fantastic news! He's a great player and good kid IMO.

 

[Zekeats]

All for resting EE but I think Dak needs/ed all the reps he could get.

It's not playing scared, it's playing smart. As everyone is saying, injuries can happen anytime.

Only those not paying attention won't admit playoff success is largely a function of having healthy players. So making sure our key player is healthy in two weeks is smart. Ditto for Lee, who is the key to the defense. And if we could carry 75 players I bet none of the OL would have played either.
