Gachkar out with broken thumb

[LocimusPrime]

Let me do a recap for players who currently aren't practicing:

• Malik Collins- pup list
• Tyrone Crawford - back issues
• Dunbar - knee rehab
• Elliot - hammy
• Gachkar - thumb
• Hanna - pup list
• Justin Jackson - knee
• Mayowa- knee rehab
• T McClain. - toe
• McFadden - elbow rehab
• K Moore - leg surgery
• J smith - leg rehab
• D Wilson - eye
• Devin Street - back
• K Wilbur - back

Ouch. Injuries happen.

Everybody is worried about the dline, I think the linebackers are a bigger problem. If/when Lee goes down, we have nothing.

 

[Bay10]

I'm sure he will really be missed. What a disaster at lb on this roster.

 

[Idgit]

Ok, that's kind of funny.

Did anyone else read that as: Dallas is not without linebacker Sean Lee.

Frankly, Lee is the only one of that corps who we would have trouble doing without. Followed by Hitchens and Durant (not necessarily in that order).

Don't like these guys getting hurt because they are our depth, but I can certainly live with these backup injuries over key players getting hurt.

My only real concerns right now are Romo's stiff back, Elliott's hamstring and T. Crawford's back ... and all of those seem more like inconveniences than real injuries.

They do. You cope as a team and need to deal with it.

That does not stop the fan free passes though.

This is often a game of insurance vs attrition.

Not too concerned about the RB. There actually is depth there.

If Ronnie Lot can cut off a finger Im sure Gatchkar can remove a thumb. No big deal guys.

 

[Redball Express]

Blessing in disguise? This team is running out of healthy players.

Isn't this something that if he had to play they could put it in a protective cast and he could play?

Thank you Clarence Hill for the only thing that made me smile opening this thread...the listing of Ro McClain's ailment was awesome!

Well put. Insurance vs attrition. Exactly right

Intention omission of Lee for projected injury or being held out?

You believe Lee will suit up for the first meaningless preseason game? I don't.

 

[Richmond Cowboy]

LOL @ purple drank

 

[Manwiththeplan]

maybe it's a blessing in disguise. Gachkar wasn't going to become anything more than JAG anyway. Give the young guys more reps.

yea, he's here for special teams, so...yawn

 

[mrmojo]

Didn't we draft a LB with our 2nd round pick? ...........Oh yeah..........I forgot.........

 

[MileyDancer]

Bwahahahaha.

 

[Teague31]

More reps for the German!!!!

 

[revospeed]

What are Cam Lawrence or Caleb McSurdy up to?

 

[Alexander]

What are Cam Lawrence or Caleb McSurdy up to?

They are probably on Judd Garrett's speed dial.

Don't give him any ideas.

Have to wonder if Keith Smith will have to go back to linebacker soon.

We would then have no fullbacks.

Honestly I am not as worried about Linebacker. I like lee and hitchens and think we have a couple of guys who can play the sam.

If lee or hitchens get injured then we are deep sixed there.

Thankfully it is only august 5th. I feel like linebacker is a spot we can bring guys in from cuts at the end of the month and be okay with if that happens.

now this does affect special teams so that is a problem.
