T. Crawford hurt in practice***Merged***

[jrumann59]

I feel bad that this news doesn't really bother me at all considering we are perpetually without Crawford.

Really how many games has he missed? If anything he is guilty of playing hurt most of the time.

Cowboys acknowledge Tyrone Crawford’s injury looks like a “scary one”

The Cowboys don’t know anything for certain on Tyrone Crawford, but they left the practice field hoping for the best — an right ankle sprain — and preparing for the worst for the defensive lineman.

Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones acknowledged the injury was a “scary one” but added that the team has “no idea yet.”

The Cowboys, who had 36 sacks last season, already have three defensive linemen suspended for the start of the season. Now, they could be without Crawford, too.

“The good news is we’ve got some good depth,” Jones said, via Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. “Obviously we drafted that position. The one thing about Ty is he was very versatile. He could go in and play the under, play either end, so he’s a big part of what we’re about. Certainly a key part of this football team.”

Crawford was injured when he lowered his left shoulder, trying to stop Ezekiel Elliott. He hit Elliott’s right shoulder, knocking Elliott to the ground and rolling his ankle at a 90-degree angle.

ouch that is not a good news
Can Dan Skipper Play Defense ?

Wonder if we could trade Coakley and a third for Aaron Donald.

It'll be a miracle if there's no break or severe ligament damage. Ankles don't twist/bend that way. What a great way to start the season. He's our most versatile DE and solid against the run and plays the pass well. He will be missed.

Wow. That's great news, if true.

Side note, these threads always separate posters who pay attention to DL play from those who do not. Losing Crawford would be a big hit to that position group.

When is the surgery to have the foot amputated?

Also, who cursed the DL? I'm going to blame Ratliff.

Hopefully, it is only a grade I, II at worst.

If that's the case, shut him down for a month. He's a vet, give the reps to the young guys.

 

[Joe Realist]

One month until season starts. You will not see him

Wonder if we could trade Coakley and a third for Aaron Donald.

We'd have to throw in a 7th and Matt Johnson. Hard to turn down an elite white safety.

I remember about six or seven years ago Ryan Kesler, a hockey player for then the Vancouver Canucks, went into the boards feet first and his ankle looked to go in at a similar ankle. It was thought that he would be gone for the year, but ended up being a sprain and he was back in the lineup after a few weeks I think. Hopefully the same for Crawford. Sometimes it can look worse than it is. But a fracture or two could make it an IR season

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Tyrone Crawford suffered a lateral ankle sprain in Tuesday's practice, according to a source. X-rays came back negative. There is no timetable for a return but he could be out until the opener.

Seems like no fracture, which is pretty big. Could have been a lot worse.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Wow... dodged a bullet there for sure.

 

[lkelly]

I heard he caught drop foot from Jaylon Smith after they shared the same locker.

,,,simmm don na...

It's being reported that Crawford suffered no fracture but a lateral right ankle sprain.
I'm not sure how a LAS compares to a High Ankle Sprain severity wise.
