Romo Injuried and Jones Suspended

The Cowboys have already had a rough week! Monday morning the Cowboys announced that quarterback Tony Romo will miss atleast 4 weeks and 3 games due to a broken pinkie finger on his throwing hand. The news came as a surprise to many as the injury happened in the first play of overtime in the loss to the Cardinals. That was only a piece of the bad news for the Cowboys as they learned today that cornerback Adam Jones has been suspended by the commissioner for his actions last week in a fight with his own bodyguard.

Jones Suspended 4 Games

Cowboys not worried on Barber’s injury

The Dallas Morning News has reported that the Cowboys are not concerned about Barber’s injury during week 1 game against the Cleveland Browns. Barber has taken the past couple days off of practice but returned to some position drills wednesday. Head coach Wade Phillips showed little concern over his starting running backs injury but ensured that rookie Felix Jones will be ready to start if needed to. With Jones coming in after Barber’s injury in week 1 and playing like a seasoned veteran the Cowboys look to be in good shape if needed to turn to Jones if Barber can not go on Monday!

Week 1 Win

Felix Jones

The kickoff to the 2008-2009 NFL season for the Dallas Cowboys started off with a bang! With the team looking like they picked up right when they left off last year the Cowboys defeated the Cleveland Browns in a week 1 win of 28-10. Other then having around a dozen penalties called the Cowboys looked sharp on both sides of the ball. One area of concern that can be taken away from the game is the injury to starting running back Marion Barber. Barber left the game with bruised ribs but it does not look like a injurt that will keep him out. Back up rookie running back Felix Jones came into his first career game and was very impressive that included a rushing touchdown. With a positiive performance from both sides of the ball the Cowboys look good moving into week 2 were they will meet division rival and Terrell Owens hater Philadelphia Eagles. This week I will be keeping up with the media and seeing how the progress of Barber and his ribs is and also Quarterback Tony Romo who got stitches in his chin after a hit to the face.
