News: DC: Davon Coleman Suffers Weight Room Injury Mon.

[NewsBot]

IRVING, Texas – There was a bit of confusion Tuesday when defensive tackle Davon Coleman limped into the Cowboys locker room on crutches. The rookie notched two tackles in the win against Tenness... It turns out he rookie strained his calf during a weight room session on Monday, the team’s off day from practice.

I’m happy it happened in the weight room and not the field – it’s not too serious,” he said.

Coleman said he was doing squats when he suffered the strain. Crutches tend to signify a serious sort of injury, but Coleman said he has spoken with head athletic trainer Jim Maurer and doesn’t expect to miss much time.

Bishop active, Coleman inactive.

Sounds like he went a little super heavy and didn't have a good squat position. Then mis planted a foot. If done strictly on a machine, then bad form to start.

Happened to my cousin before. Didn't keep him out long. They've been splitting McClain at 3-tech anyway. I don't think it changes much. Melton/McClain at 3, Hayden/Bishop at 1. I'm excited to see what Bishop can do.

Same here. Hopefully he's been boning up on his technique.

I honestly don't know much about Coleman. I know he's a pure 3-tech and the coaches seem to like him. I've always been big on Bishop, though he's purely a project 1-tech with physical talent and potential to be a beast with the right coaching. McClain is our most versatile interior lineman.

Yep.

Coleman had 19 snaps on Sunday but he didn't do much with them except spin around a lot. They should be able to fill in those snaps without a beat if he can't play. McClain can fill in at 3-tech.

They slid Mincey inside for a few plays in the nickel on Sunday and he created some pressure and I thought he looked decent.

I'd like to see what Bishop can do.

Well that sucks..

 

[TwoCentPlain]

He's on crutches and says he will play this Sunday. I ain't believing that until I see it. I am expecting to get the official 'day-to-day' diagnosis which will actually mean 4-6 weeks.

Sounds like he pushed his knees too far forward on the squat..

Couldn't be more vague if they tried.

Tomorrow, the news will be he had an amputation.

On the good leg.

I'm expecting a date for the funeral.

That kid Bishop can play, not a big deal.
