News: ST: Cowboys QB coach had toe amputated in August

[NewsBot]

But when it comes to a life-or-death issue, there has been nothing more important than the surgery Wilson had to amputate the second toe on his right foot before the start of the season.

The toe had been infected due to complications with Type 1 diabetes, which Wilson has had for 30 years. The infection had gotten so bad that he was hospitalized for two days during training camp in early August to receive antibiotics. He was also forced to wear a walking boot for a week.

Wilson had a setback when the Cowboys returned to Dallas and found himself suffering again. He didn’t make the trip to the Aug. 25 preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks because he was in the hospital.

So on the same weekend that it was announced that Romo would be out 8-10 weeks after he suffered a broken bone in his back against the Seahawks, Wilson underwent surgery to amputate his toe.

Interesting...

I guess so. Although I don't get the point of keeping it secret. Kubiak is literally falling out and there is not a veil of secrecy.

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Well he is doing a bang up job with Dak. Despite adversity? Commendable.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Geez remember when he got ripped to pieces in here over that?

The Wilson hate was so strong and now the truth of exactly what the situation was comes out.

Oops.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

I, myself diabetic, posted when he left the team that it was most likely a prob with diabetes. His feet, guessed it might be that.

 

[Ring Leader]

So the performance enhancing drugs, for which he served a 5 game suspension, couldn't save the toe. Great job there Goddell. You nailed the junkie.

Oops.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Wonder if there will be even a hint of remorse?

Nah.

 

[vicjagger]

Oh, so that's why he's so much better this year. I knew something was different, but I just couldn't put my finger on it.

 

[Scotman]

He received a longer suspension for trying to manage the symptoms of diabetes than someone who was caught cheating.

Ridiculous.

Nah.

I'd trade their lack of remorse for them keeping their mouths shut next time something comes up. Doubt they will though.

 

[Bullflop]

Here's hoping he able to keep closer tabs on his diabetic condition -- wouldn't want to see anyone lose their body parts out of neglect or failure to tend to the necessary precautions. Diabetes requires constant attention. Otherwise, the consequences can be catastrophic. Be careful, Wade.

The worst part of that suspension was that i believe it was longer than Billichek served for cheating and filming opposing teams practices and sidelines to steal their plays.

Oops.

Cowboys have been in gun sights for a long time...and that wasn't limited to just the media. That included officials and league officials.

Truth be told, ol' Jerry hasn't been nearly as detrimental as many here have held him to be. But don't mention that now, to many even on site now

 

[fredp22]

hope hes ok. Diabetes unless combated wont stop there

the next story down is an interesting read.
Staubach is backing Dak over Romo. Brought up when he came back from injury and couldnt get in because Morton was playing so well and that he understood the decision
