News: La'el Collins has a Torn Ligament in his Toe

[TRUTH87]

They have the results, just figuring out to play them. Can't be good or you would know already.

yea it cant be good. meanwhile on twitter theres an idiot saying Torn LCL done for season.

This is why you don't trade depth, people.

Case closed.

That's telling them Mickey Spagnola. Us fans don't have a clue about what we're talking about.

 

[conner01]

They should call up mackenzie bernadeau and get him ready. We are one injury away from a real problem.

That's the real problem. Leary can step right in but now depth gets thin. Hopefully smith is fine and we can add a guard but adding one means cutting someone too unless we put Collins on IR

 

[Reality]

.. and this is why I kept saying we should keep Leary.

Yeah I was gonna come in here and say I wonder how does the "Trade Leary" crowd feel about this. Guys wanted to trade him for a 5th or 6th rounder.....

His pride probably hurts worse than his toe after he went flying 5 yards backwards last night looking like a victim of a Mike Tyson uppercut.

Its a shame but this is the only way they could learn how incredibly stupid and shortsighted that idea was.

Not that I think they'll have actually learned anything from this.

Of course they won't. These are the same ones who probably had us 0-3 at this point in the season.

Maybe he was hurt when that occurred?

 

[Echo9]

And this is why it was such a great idea not to settle for a trade involving Leary. Gotta have depth and he will step in and not miss a beat.

While I never wanted to "settle" for a trade, since I was hoping for something equal to the value of a starting guard, I am now glad a trade didn't happen.

I still think we should try to get something out of Escobar though

I was against a trade for a late pick too but if some team sent a 2nd rounder our way..........I would have signed up for Uber and personally drove him to the airport. Then if it came down to an injured guard(Collins in this case), Sonny and Cher's love child would be given the chance to learn LG or RG

 

[CATCH17]

I was hearing six weeks out. It's a good thing we have Leary...

I hope you're right.

 

[KJJ]

Maybe he was hurt when that occurred?

Who knows but he's probably still wondering if anyone got the license plate number of the truck that hit him.

Oh me too. If a team offered me a 1st or 2nd I'm down for the trade. But realistically it was going to be a 5th or 6th rounder and it wasn't worth it.

Leary didn't want to be here either. You act like the Cowboys weren't gonna have another backup in mind if they did trade Leary. Guards are much easier to replace than the Tackle position. I think the Cowboys would've been fine moving him for the right price.

 

[links18]

Who would have though a little toe ligament would be so serious?

 

[plymkr]

That sucks, is this Collin's contract year also? I remember since he wasn't drafted we signed him to an unusual rookie contract. I thought it was for 2 years, so he'd be a FA after this season. I don't want to lose Collins and Leary in the same offseason.

 

[plasticman]

Yes I remember all the "trade Leary" talk. This is why you don't weaken your strongest unit. The Offensive line must be at least 7 deep, injury is an inevitable reality and there has been so many times the Cowboys went critically thin in depth and paid the price.

This is the same reason we kept all of our RB's. It never works when we attempt to strengthen a position by sacrificing depth at another.

 

[DK30]

Crazy how much does depth this team has at oline.
