Felix Jones Likely Out Couple Of Weeks *Merge*

[JBS]

So you thought bad just got worse with Tony Romo now out likely a month with a non-displaced fracture of his right little finger. Well, it's really worse that that. Cowboys rookie running back Felix Jones is getting an MRI on the strained hamstring he suffered in the 30-24 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but from preliminary indications he will be out at least two weeks.

Jones suffered the left hamstring strain on his 14-yard gain on second-and-six at the Arizona 49. Jones left the game at that point, never to return, His run spearheaded the Cowboys' touchdown drive, giving them a brief 14-7 lead the Cardinals wiped out on the ensuing possession. Jones finished the game with three carries for 22 yards, and without him on the field the Cowboys never again threatened the aggressive Cardinals defense in the running game.

Some of the other players are going to have to step up. I know Choice isn't close to being the threat that Felix is but I am looking forward to seeing him get a few carries.

 

[Eskimo]

We should not make the mistake of rushing him back like we have done with Tnew and Kosier. Bring him back when he is 100% - usually 3-4 weeks for a good hamstring injury. I'm tired of the Cowboys medical staff rushing things with the players, bringing them back only to get them re-injured.

Zona truley beat up the Dallas Cowboys yesterday. Perhaps ruined its season.

 

[Hailmary]

I'm speechless.

 

[masomenos]

Oh. My. God.

Every time I refresh the main page there's another injury or something is more severe than was thought.

 

[Rampage]

wow. were in a serious jam.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Is there a link for this one? This hurts.

So not only will backup quarterbacks Brad Johnson and Brooks Bollinger has to step up, but so will rookie running back Tashard Choice.

what can you do but laugh? this is getting ridiculous....

between the injuries and the impending sense of implosion things are just lining up for some drama...

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Well this is excellent news. Now we're without our QB, without our speed runningback, and we're not playing all that well anyway.

Awesome. 5-4 is looking more and more likely as we head into the bye.

 

[DaBoys4Life]

when it rains it pours :bang2:

 

[Walker]

I wonder if the cowboys will bring him back in time for the NYG game or wait until after the bye.

 

[thewireman]

Wow what are the odds all this happens in 1 week unreal

 

[Da Hammer]

okay this is getting ridiculous...

 

[gocowboys25]

what's the punchline? This has seriously become out of control today with all these injuries. I just can't believe they got this banged up by AZ or were these injuries they've had but are now serious enough to talk about. I just don't understand how everything can change this much in a matter of a few weeks. urgh

 

[ETex]

I'm seriously gonna have to leave the zone alone for a while. It's either bad news or bad attitudes.

 

[28 Joker]

I can't believe all this bad news. This one really hurts, too.
