Zack Martin Expected to Miss No More Than a Week

[AzorAhai]

Zack Martin is expected to miss no more than a week of practice with an injury he suffered when the Cowboys worked against the St. Louis Rams, a source said.

The Pro Bowl guard injured his neck while pulling to block on a Darren McFadden run during a team drill against the Rams Tuesday afternoon. He stayed on the ground for several minutes while team doctors and trainers held his head and put him through a series of test with his hands and arms.

Quarterback Tony Romo and the rest of the starting offensive linemen gathered around Martin while he was being checked. Owner Jerry Jones and his son Stephen, the team’s executive vice president, came down from the tower where they observe practice to check on last year’s first round pick.

I don't care if they hold him out until the Giants game. He doesn't need any more practice. He is "The President of the United States" as Nate Newton says.

Best news I've heard in a while...

Phew! definitely dodged a big bullet there.

i say hold him out of games until week 1....no need to risk aggravating a stinger during preseason action especially if he'd likely only play a half of minnesota and probably not the last game at all

Exhales! Takes off explosive belt and suicide vest! Walks out of the bathroom and informs wife I will be able to join her for bingo tonight at Aunt Clara's house after all.

 

[popp1234]

Amen!

 

[Nightman]

Really. A week is long time for a stinger.

 

[NeonNinja]

Some of the best news to see when checking out site. Thankful he's alright, especially dealing with neck.

I will wait until that week is up and see if he is back out there before I celebrate.
Seen too many "only a few days" injuries on this team in the past that escalated into longer times.

What if he misses 1 week and a day?

Thanks for the info.

Hold him out until week 1. Let that stinger completely go away. Glad it's a short term injury

Seen a few too many missed by a mile prognosis in the past.

Upon being informed of said Bingo game at Aunt Clara's: Corso puts ON the left behind suicide vest...

Nate said that?
That Nate sure knows how to turn a phrase.

Well, Zachary (Taylor) Martin (Van Buren) does sound presidential.
