Marcus Spears injured in practice

Quote:

News
Cowboys defensive end Marcus Spears injured his right knee during Friday morning's practice. He suffered the injury when some players rolled over his leg during 11-on-11 drills. Spears walked over to the training table, but he had difficulty bending the joint. After some examination, the rookie was carted off the field.

The Cowboys are counting on the first-round pick to be a force in their new 3-4 scheme, and obviously those plans could change due to this injury. We'll provide more details when they become available"

If you are an LSU fan, you are hoping it's not serious. Marcus is a class guy.

... and Corey Webster along with Travis Daniels are having great camps. Daniels is already considered the starter because of injuries, but he's definately earning it from what I've been reading. Webster is battling Will Allen for the job.

I wish we woulda drafted Webster. He will probbeat out Will Allen before the year is out. Good to hear Travis is playing well too. He was what, a 4th rounder? You heard anything on Wilkerson?

Wilkerson failed his physical :cry:

Nope... but I'm pretty sure he'll beat out someone for their starting spot. He's a stud. If it weren't for that injury he had last season, there would be no way in hell he would have lasted until the 4th.

And if you are in a keeper league, and drafted him with your number one pick, the you're really hoping it's not serious.

Okay BNB, you are gonna have to explain to me why anyone would take Spears with their first pick in a keeper league. Even WhoDat isn't that bad at fantasy is he?

Update:

Who's Not:
Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells and owner Jerry Jones just lost one of their first-round draft choices for the season after signing him to a five-year, $9.35-million deal with $6.7 million in guarantees just six days ago. That's a huge loss for a team trying to switch to a 3-4 defense because Spears had the versatility to play defensive end or slide over to the nose. He was expected to win the starting job at left end.

If you saw my roster, you would understand.

My only glaring weakness is on the defensive line, because the guy that drafted in front of me stocked up early in the veteran draft. Then, on top of that, he picked Erasmus James right in front of me. I was pissed.
Regardless, my rookie draft was perfect from there. Was able to nab Mark Clayton with my second pick, Ryan Moats with the 3rd, Lofa Tatupu in the 4th, Charlie Frye with the 5th, Alfred Fincher with the 6th, and Corey Webster with the 7th.
