Cornerback Orlando Scandrick was carted off the practice field Tuesday, and Pro Football Talk has confirmed that one of Cowboys’ top defenders is done for the season with a torn ACL.

Mike Garofolo of FOX Sports was first to report it. Tuesday night, Cowboys secondary coach Jerome Henderson told reporters that Scandrick told him he knew he had torn his ACL.

The non-contact injury came after Scandrick had two interceptions in practice.

It was a contact injury

Huge loss,the division games became that much tougher especially the giants.

 

[DallasBlockersClub]

Huge, huge, huge loss.

 

[Crown Royal]

That sucks. Hope he recovers.

 

[JD_KaPow]

I guess Jones is a CB this year.

Injuries produce opportunities, baby!!

Dang it.
Well, at least he got his money.

It was a contact injury

Definitely was a contact injury.

Sucks to lose him but at the same time it happens, just lucky it wasn't Romo or Dez or Lee. I have confidence in our CB depth and pass rush that we will be okay. Here's hoping to no more catastrophic injuries.

Huge, huge, huge loss.

I only give it one huge. Let's not get carried away.

It was a contact injury, it was reported that he had one interception and I don't think the MRI has been completed yet. Other than that PFT, has everything right.

This is the way I look at it too. I like Scandrick and this loss hurts. However, I feel worse for him than the team, because I think the team will carry on.

[TheSport78]

So now PFT confirms ACL tears via players stating, "It's my ACL, I know it." I'm paraphrasing of course, but it's extremely misleading by them to do something like this when it is NOT confirmed yet. More likely to be an MCL tear.

 

[mldardy]

I'll wait for something more official than PFT. It is looking like an ACL but give me something better than PFT.

At 10:05 CST ESPN reported that Scandrick was still getting the MRI. The report from PFT was from around 8:30 PM. I think they're reporting what was said by Scandrick himself, before a definitive diagnosis has been made.

Been saying for years . Improve that pass rush and it'll do wonders for our secondary . It's time for them to show you guys its true. With or without Oscan.

And his injury makes us a stronger team right? That's what you suggested in the other thread.

Did I stutter? Did you read my response to you? I said not necessarily better (that remains to be seen). I said stronger, meaning (mentally able to withstand pressure, stress, setbacks, etc). Like losing your battle buddy, but still having to carry on with the mission and task at hand.
