Calvin Watkins E-mail News tips
A busy day is coming to an end, we think.
Let's recap the injuries.
Rookie running back Felix Jones is out two-to-four weeks with a left hamstring injury suffered in the third quarter of Sunday's loss at Arizona. It's a major blow to the Cowboys' struggling offense, even though Wade Phillips contends, Tony Romo did throw for 300 plus yards and the offense scored 24 points.
Phillips said Marion Barber would get an increased role, probably some of the snaps Jones was supposed to get, and rookie Tashard Choice will see some time, but very little.
Also, Sam Hurd will undergo surgery tomorrow on his left ankle. Hurd has ligament damage and it could cost him six-to-eight weeks. This might end Hurd's season and he could go on injured reserve.
Outside linebacker Anthony Spencer has a hamstring strain and Phillips said he's week-to-week. I doubt if he'll play on Sunday.
Safety Patrick Watkins and left tackle Flo Adams are battling neck stingers. Adams has played through it all season while Watkins' was more serious and he needed at least two weeks of recovery time.
Watkins said he feels fine and hopes to practice on Wednesday.
Everybody's favorite safety, Roy Williams should return this week after missing the previous four weeks with a fractured right forearm. Williams will play with a soft cast and it's not known if he will return to the starting lineup.
Tony Romo, as everyone knows, broke his right pinky on the first play of overtime when he was smashed on a passing play. Romo couldn't grip the ball the rest of the drive and that might have contributed to his short hopped throw to Terrell Owens and an overthrow.
Romo didn't offer excuses after the game regarding the hand. But when he was picking up his duffle bag after the game he did so gingerly.
Mat McBriar is probably gone for the season, or maybe six-to-eight weeks, depending on what the doctors say. McBriar has a major fracture and two hairline fractures in his right foot. The foot is black and blue and McBriar can't put any weight on it.
The team will workout former Jets punter Ben Graham and Sam Paulescu tomorrow to see who can take over.
