Felix Jones Likely Out Couple Of Weeks Posted by mickshot at 10/13/2008 12:18 PM CDT on truebluefanclub.com So you thought bad just got worse with Tony Romo now out likely a month with a non-displaced fracture of his right little finger. Well, it's really worse that that. Cowboys rookie running back Felix Jones is getting an MRI on the strained hamstring he suffered in the 30-24 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but from preliminary indications he will be out at least two weeks. Jones suffered the left hamstring strain on his 14-yard gain on second-and-six at the Arizona 49. Jones left the game at that point, never to return, His run spearheaded the Cowboys' touchdown drive, giving them a brief 14-7 lead the Cardinals wiped out on the ensuing possession. Jones finished the game with three carries for 22 yards, and without him on the field the Cowboys never again threatened the aggressive Cardinals defense in the running game. So not only will backup quarterbacks Brad Johnson and Brooks Bollinger has to step up, but so will rookie running back Tashard Choice.
This is a huge loss for the Cowboys. What a brutal game for them, yesterday. I feel for you guys, I know the injury bug (last years' Charger team). Marion Barber is a pro bowl back, hopefully Choice can step it up. I didn't see the injury, but a hamstring injury for a RB can be hell. Hopefully Felix can come back strong so the Cowboys can brace for a strong season ending run when everyone starts getting healthy.
