Yea that's the truth, I just find this kind of thing strange and it seems to be happening more and more. I am assuming its an agent giving out info but I could be wrong and it could be a player or staff member who passed this along and other info seemingly constantly.

pretty sure there is enough credentialed media covering this sport and this team that should be the ones with the info.

Maybe this writer just got the info out quicker than others? Who knows. In the end it is 10 to 12 weeks out regardless of who is reporting.

Two things.

She is not a writer, she has a regular job and just blogs or whatever. I know she is part of that group of people mike fisher has under his umbrella doing things for him on his website.

more importantly marcus mosher is saying he has the same injury as dez in 15. He is expected to need another surgery. Who knows if he even plays.

 

[JohnsKey19]

You had to expect this. Can we just bubble-wrap Crawford and Thorton until September????

 

[TonyS]

it really depends on the injury as to when he'll be available again. Some, take more time to rehab after surgery. Any injury is a bad injury, especially to a rookie you were counting on to play a role in the defense.

Foot injuries bother me because even with the right surgery and rehab, they always seem to flare up or be harder to heal than many other types of injuries. I've had jammed toes and stress fractures in my past while running, etc and there always seems to be soreness years later.

 

[LandryFan]

wont miss any games. should have a little time to get ready before the season, might still be able to play in atleast 2 preseason games to get ready fellas

I will bet anybody one adult social beverage right now that he will start the regular season on PUP...any takers?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Per Cowboys Facebook if anyone can link

Imagine that? The guy that was supposed to be instant impact and create a pass rush up the middle is done?

For those that were overzealously predicting the world for this guy..............reality was that he wasnt going to do much anyway.

This gets old every year. ####!

It wouldnt be an issue if Jones did screw up the draft. Taking a RB with the first pick, a 2nd round mental case DE last year, a 2nd round LB that wont play for at least a year, ect...ect....ect..... Is it any wonder we lack depth and talent on the defense?

It would make a lot of sense. Give the foot a lot of time to heal. (same injury as Dez & Tank) And he gets to practice a few weeks before being made active. On the flip-side he probably could contribute on pass rushing downs if he can play at the start of the season.

I hear ya...but they will exercise a lot of caution in bringing him back. we'll see him in early November if he has no setbacks. From what I read somewhere a little while ago, this is the same injury Dez had (with same surgery), so making sure he's fully recovered is the correct approach, IMHO.

I don't completely agree with this line of logic, but you certainly have to wonder about the arrogance of spending a 1st rounder on a RB and the 2nd rounder on a guy that won't play, coming off a 4 win season.

 

[Sydla]

Well if this is our big injury pre-season, I can live with that.

NFL Football has become just like thoroughbred horse racing. These guys are finely tuned
automobiles or racing horses in that anything that happens puts them out of commission
for extended periods of time. The NFL as a whole has a big problem with injuries as does
the NBA. Really, the NFL needs to increase team sizes and increase game day roster sizes
but, because of the CBA and union work rules won't happen anytime soon. Now back in the
really old days, guys just rubbed some dirt on it and kept playing even with broken bones and
bloody faces.

Back in the old days, there were no Unions or Lawyers involved to the extent they are now. Even if you wanted to play with an injury, today, you would have the Union involved and the lawyers on both sides involved. The Union would say no because that influences other players and what is expected of them etc. The lawyers for the NFL would be worried about getting filed on and the players lawyers would be looking at how they could file. It's not the same game at all but it's the game we got.

 

[Primetime42]

Welp.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Like Walt Garrison....played with a broken leg to finish a game.
Who was it, Ronnie Lott, told them to cut off the tip of a broken finger so he could get back on the field.

I didn't know Garrison played with a broken leg. I knew he once played with broken ribs and fingers, nose and a few other things but I didn't know that. I know Jack Youngblood played with a broken leg in the through the playoffs and the Super Bowl in 79. For sure, Garrison was one of the all time tough guys in the NFL thou.

 

[JohnsKey19]

Yikes. Half basically were out of the league within a season. Hopefully that has more to do with these players talent and not as much to do with the injury.
