It has to be serious. I've had friends almost die from staph/mrsa infections. They can be deadly.
It's always possible but so inexplicable when you consider the top notch care the players get. For us mortals, I get it but for the elite?

Must be something outside the parameters of careful procedure, I guess

They make it look so easy I swear! Maybe this is where flournoy can come in or someone else Tolbert and help out....... Has he even been called up from the PS yet? Or is it going to be a game time thing
Jerry and Stephen will probably wait until game time and then flip a coin

Could explain the slow start he’s had this season. Big opportunity for the young receivers. If Tolbert doesn’t step up as the number two, we’ll be in the market for a number two receiver next offseason.
We know what he is already. Hes at best a no 4.

Count me in on Flournoy. I think the kid can play. Yes a speed guy would seem like the bigger need right now. But I like the physical style of Flournoy. Reminded me a little bit of Irvin during the preseason.

Didn't realize Cooks had a knee issue before hearing about the infection. But his meniscus issue could explain why he was off to a slow start and wasn't separating as well.

Last season it looked like the stars were aligning especially after getting the 2nd seed and the Cowboys blew it with the coaching staff not having this team prepared when it mattered and stubbornness to ignore LB. This year just feels like the adversity keeps mounting with little going right. The next 4 weeks will tell us everything we need to know about this team and if they have a shot at making the playoffs.
