They say when it rains, it pours. That seems to be true for the Dallas Cowboys this season. It was bad enough that after entering the season with Super Bowl hopes, they lose two of the first six games. But now they've been hit with the injury bug, or rather a whole swarm of injury bugs.We find out yesterday that on the first play of the overtime period on Sunday, quarterback Tony Romo broke the pinkie finger of his throwing hand. That means the team will be without their starting quarterback for at least the next four weeks (maybe longer, if it doesn't heal quickly).
That would have been bad enough by itself, but that was just one of several injuries the Cowboys suffered last Sunday. Cowboys punter Mat McBriar broke his foot in the overtime period. He will be out for 6 to 8 weeks. And there's more.
Wide receiver Sam Hurd re-injured his left ankle and will need to have surgery. He will probably be put on injured reserve.
Then we have rookie running back Felix Jones. Jones strained his left hamstring in the second half of the game. Hopefully, he will only miss a couple of weeks.
Linebacker Anthony Spencer also strained his hamstring. Coach Phillips says he will be out on a week-to-week basis.
I don't know what to say. For a season that started with so much hope, it seems to be going downhill in a hurry.
