No worries.The Cowboys don’t believe Leary’s injury is major, but it will be something they will have to manage for a little bit.
La'el Collins, step right up! You're the next component on the Dallas O Line!!!

Wally Pipp.
Exactly what I was getting ready to post. Hopefully Leary is not thinking the same thing (if he even knows the story) and tries to come back too soon.
The Wally Pipp story is one of Garrett's favorites. I'm sure Leary has heard it a number of times. If he's not thinking about it, then he should be.
I am sure Leary is aware of Collins' talent and talk of him taking his job, as soon as he was signed. I just hope he doesn't get too caught up in losing his job (based on Wally Pipp) and tries to come back before he is completely ready, thus hurting the team in the long run. Pride can be a mutha....even to a detriment. However, I completely get what you are saying. No player should feel his job is completely safe.
You might want to get back fast Ron.
I hope that the back injury isn't anything serious. Leary is a damn good player, and not having him will hurt the team. Having a La'el Collins to plug in is great, but I would rather have a healthy Leary and then move Collins to RT.
Let that dream die.
