Swaim gets foot surgery after workout injury

[BoysfanfromCanada]

La'el Collins is coming off a significant toe injury. That's the injury I'm worried about. Those often become chronic and never heal properly. It's ended many careers.

In certain situations yeah, but his was more of a freak accident, it bent the wrong way when hit from behind. Same thing happened to Lee and it hasn't cropped up again. Felix Jones too although he's been out of the league for a while

Evan Engram

CHAMPIONSHIP!

Apparently we only draft people from Safelite University.

Just an FYI: My dad just did this to his foot in February. The doctors said this is a 1yr recovery because of blood flow to that area. He is in his mid 50's, so that doesn't help.

Good thing that this didn't happen to Witten then. Being 75 and all.

Evan Engram

CHAMPIONSHIP!

Bit your tongue! We will not draft Engram young man! No we like our TE's slow.

Jones injury....... Hummm.........

I wonder if that's another way of saying, we can't seem to avoid shooting ourselves in the foot?

Side note - It's called a Jones fracture because Jerry Jones was the first to spot the injury on an MRI.

I wonder what James Hanna's health status is? Haven't heard any update on him.

Most recent thing I see.

The contract we signed him for last offseason is not helping. His cap hit practically doubles this year versus last.

Jerry is the only NFL HOF inductee asking for 3 separate HOF busts' for his contribution to the NFL. 1 for GM, 1 for owner and lastly 1 for player injury diagnosis/analyst. He's simply amazing.

FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys tight end Geoff Swaim is likely out until training camp because of foot surgery this week, sources told ESPN.

Swaim suffered the injury in informal workouts this week at The Star. Players are allowed to work out at the team's facility but cannot have contact with coaches. The Cowboys coaches are off this week. Swaim had a screw inserted into his foot to help secure the bones and will likely be held out until the team leaves for training camp in Oxnard, California, in July.

awwww man, really that sucks. Crap.

Must be nice to collect NFL paychecks with not having to play

TE is high on my draft wish list.

Mine too, but I want one of the good ones who can have an impact in the pass game, replacing Witten. That will likely require an early pick rather than an end of the draft selection. We'll see what they really think of Rico by what happens in the draft and FA.

Glorified WR from what I have seen of him.

but highly glorified....he's the type of guy other teams are killing it with on offense because no one can cover them. We've had some small TEs in the past like Novachek....he couldn't move anyone, but he got in the way and kept his feet moving. I'll take that if it brings what Engram can bring to the passing game.

so now they are down to a old tight end playing his last year and other two on one leg and rico who hasn't played football on a team yet

This was the best TE on the roster for Risen, huge setback, round one TE coming up!

Finally a time where a 2nd on a TE would make sense
