Spears Injured

They same article mentions they don't know the extent of the injury

More sloppy journalism from the idiot staff at dallascowboys.com (i.e. Eatman, Spagnola, etc.)

This is what it says:
The Cowboys might have lost first-round pick Marcus Spears for a significant period of time.
The rookie defensive end was carted off the field during Friday morning's practice after suffering knee, ankle and groin injuries while trying to make a tackle during team drills.
"We'll MRI and X-ray it," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said, "but it wasn't good."
Spears, who signed a five-year, $9.35 million deal with $6.7 million guaranteed last Saturday, got tangled up in a pile during a run by Anthony Thomas in team drills. He tried to get up on his own but couldn't put any weight on his right leg, and two teammates eventually helped him to the sideline.
After trying to walk off the injury, Spears limped across the field to the training table and got his leg examined by team trainers. He then was carted back to the club's locker room, clutching his leg with a mixture of pain and disappointment on his face.
Parcells had little information on Spears' injury during his daily news conference.
"I don't know," Parcells said. "We'll know here in a little while. I don't want to speculate because I don't know myself."
Spears had been working at second-team left end behind Kenyon Coleman throughout camp, though Parcells said he purposely has not played all his potential starters together until after the second preseason game. Spears practiced with the first team during the May mini-camp.
I think he's got good potential," Parcells said. "But he needs a lot of work."
Seventh-round pick Jay Ratliff will likely slide into Spears' spot with the second team.

--- never says hes done for the year---

--- never says hes done for the year---

Unfortunatley it does:

Who's Not:
Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells and owner Jerry Jones just lost one of their first-round draft choices for the season after signing him to a five-year, $9.35-million deal with $6.7 million in guarantees just six days ago. That's a huge loss for a team trying to switch to a 3-4 defense because Spears had the versatility to play defensive end or slide over to the nose. He was expected to win the starting job at left end.

I hope this is wrong.

the curse of the cowboys having one of the first four picks go on I-R early in the year continues.

:bang2:

Rich.......

No, I didn't see that, who reported it?

Slap me and call me Sally if you see Glover take more than 2-3 snaps at DE in a regular season game.

You were also saying that Glover will have his plate full playing NT ...

Guess what?

He's played that position before and done very well at it. You've been reading to many message boards to think that you have to be a tub-butt to play NT.

If it's the final story, then we have to deal with it.

Spears will get the best surgery, doctors, and rehab. One lost season does not a career make, just as it did not make Al Johnson's. Hopefully, he'll spend a lot of time with the playbook, and be made to feel as much a part of things as possible. It's the mental/psychological aspect that is so tricky with rookies, imo. They have been so hyped up for all of their college careers for the pros, and bang! It can be devastating. But under Parcells watchful eye, Spears won't get 'lost'. He'll be 'involved' as much as he can be.

As for the team aspect, had you seen Tuna live on nfltv today at the pc, you'd be impressed by just how 'ordinary' a situation this actually is. Bill was totally non-plussed. Of course, he has to be far more disappointed than we could ever be, but this is the game, and every year, players are lost for the season, even the most promising ones.

Yeah it sucks. But it will be dealt with, and overcome.

Prayers to Spears, good will to Bill.

After the quote marks I'm feeling flubbered. I can only think the worst thoughts in my head.

It looks like he won't be back this year and even worse he may never be the player we hoped for when we got him.

Maybe we can get some of our money back and trade him to Snyder who is a sucker anyway for Arrington who they stole money from and he doesn't want to be there no more? Would they give us a first round or second round pick too then I'd do the trade and hope for the best.

one of the dumbest posts I've ever read

"GET A ROPE!"

Could we please get this threads title changed? Its a bit misleading considering the small snipit of a blurb being sourced. There is not a single article anywhere about Spears being LOST for the year. At least merge the threads?

D



DAYMN!!!! You folks are on the trigger.

 

[LaTunaNostra]

That said, I was joking with you a little.

Good, because then you'll laugh when I say Billy Bob has checked in after all.

This is bad, but lets stop T.O.ing, another will step up.

No all thats just somebody speculating the MRI take awhile LIKE 1 TO 2 DAYS

From yahoo health:
The radiologist may discuss preliminary results of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with you right after the test. Complete results are usually available for your health professional in 1 to 2 days.

Suggestions for further investigation may be included with the results.

An MRI scan can sometimes detect a problem in a tissue or organ, even when the size and shape of the tissue or organ appear normal.

Somehow I think I'd still be sitting here reading posts and surrounded by a blue cloud of my own foul language either way...seems like I'm just waiting for this to happen every year, because it just seems to.

He's played that position before and done very well at it. You've been reading to many message boards to think that you have to be a tub-butt to play NT.

When I said he'd have his plate full, I only meant he'd have to work hard, he'll be eating double teams alot more, even though he was no stranger to it in the 4-3.

This has nothing to do with reading message boards, or Glover's ability to play different positions. You just don't see a 5 time Pro Bowler moved to a position different from the one he went to the Pro Bowl for.

It's not going to happen, that's all I'm saying.

There's a difference when you/I get an MRI and a profootball player. He's the only one in line to have the report done. The radiologist will start working/readling the imaging study as soon as the MRI is complete. They will know something later today.

Even a half-arsed technician will be able to look at that MRI after it's finished and know one way or the other.

 

[Vertigo_17]

I'd like to see someone tell Jerry and Bill "umm, we'll get back to you with the results in a couple days"

 

[RonBurgandy31]

Thats not was I trying to say, everyone starts saying hes done for the year right after hes hurt. Im trying to say it takes time to find everything out, and dont jump to conclusions.

 

[BigDFan5]

True.

I think amputation is going to be the answer.

I think they should amputate both legs just as a premeptive strike against him injuring his other knee, what do you think?
