Sources: Cowboys fear Anthony Hitchens may be lost for the season from knee injury **merged**

Hope that's wrong. Big loss if true.

 

[NickZepp]

Well Smith better be a star player.

 

[unionjack8]

Hitchens is a very good player. Wasn't a huge fan if his originally but his play was solid if unspectacular.
This D Gonna miss him.
Not sure if jaylon is ready.
Darryl Washington on speed dial.....

 

[John813]

Wonder if we go after a lb in cuts or via a trade?

That depth is weak.

 

[SultanOfSix]

This would be unfortunate.

Hitchens is "blue-collar" - just a solid, good player. He just quietly does his job.

Agreed. But if we had to lose an LB I would prefer it to be him.

Wilson/Durant, Smith, Lee.

I don't trust Nacho to stay healthy and our depth is super thin. All guys are injury prone and facing suspension sadly

 

[lspain1]

Ultimately, any run for the playoffs and then performance in the playoffs is largely affected by injuries. So far this year, it feels like injuries have bitten early and often....made worse by the upcoming suspensions. We'll see...but I continue to get this sinking feeling. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Section446]

That would be horrible. I

 

[The Natural]

Well Smith better be a star player.

Hitchens wasnt a star player so I dont think we need his replacement to be one out the gate eitner.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Darryl Washington on speed dial.....

Same here.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Durant can play in the middle also.

Could open the door for the LB from Northwestern to make the team.

 

[TheSport78]

Torn ACL in a contract year. They were doing Lachman's and anterior drawer; he's done. He just missed out on a bunch of money. If I were the Cowboys, I'd sign him to a long-term deal tomorrow at a discounted price.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

Losing Hitchens for the year would hurt-some. But I'm meh on his talent level.

 

[haleyrules]

Too bad. I always liked Hitchens and thought he was underrated.

 

[UDcowboysfan]

I'm so hungover and so sad right now.

Guys make me feel better

 

[Silver N Blue]

Washington and Brooks are available.

 

[boysfanindc]

I have heard several of the reports coming from camp saying Hitchens might of been having the best camp of anybody on the team. He looked like he was setting himself up for a huge year in his contract year. It's a pretty big blow to this D.

 

[Pants]

perhaps this is a Bledsoe to Brady thing? We do have Mr Smith there

also, I really like Hitch, solid player that could play any of hte LB positions - you need flex guys like that on the team....GET BETTER SOON BIG FELLA

 

[aria]

This stuff is hilarious! Bill Burr or players getting injured? I can't make up my mind which is more funny, reading about all the injuries league wide or watching stand up comedy. We'll be fine, lets move on.

 

[Teague31]

I wouldn't trade picks. Wait and see who gets cut
