Cowboys Cornerback Brandon Carr Breaks Right Hand, Up For — NFL News & Rumors

The injury is reportedly similar to the broken hand DeMarco Murray played through a year ago.

Murray suffered a broken fourth metacarpal in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles, had surgery on December 15 and played six days later against the Indianapolis Colts.

Fortunately for Carr, he has more time with the regular season a month away.

Should he miss any time, Terrance Williams and Cole Beasley will have to step up and try to fill the void while he recovers, though quarterback Tony Romo has certainly worked with worse in his career.

Carr stated he felt “all proper” on Saturday. “And hopefully you’ve prepared them along the way to take the next hurdle”. The Cowboys waived him with an injury settlement.

Orlando Scandrick, the team’s other starting cornerback, also sat out Saturday morning’s walk-thru with a sore knee.

The team has also been cautious with Morris Claiborne, who is coming back from a torn patella tendon. “I’m going to listen to my trainers and coaches and be smart”. “I accept that challenge and I’m ready for it”.

Dez Bryant tops a list Dallas starters unlikely to return to practice until after the preseason opener at San Diego.

Garrett did not put a timetable on Carr’s return but did say he expects him back sooner rather than later.

“It’s just being very deliberate with his rehab”, Garrett said.

Since signing with the Cowboys, Carr has continued to be one of the most durable defenders in the NFL, starting 48 more consecutive contests in Dallas to bring his consecutive start streak to 112 games. He dealt with a right hamstring injury earlier this off-season.

Baker says when he removed his helmet and confronted the player, the player hit him and a brawl ensued.

“I’ve been feeling good, man”, McFadden said.

Garrett ended the dunk-gate controversy surrounding receiver Dez Bryant before it even got started.

Carr suffered the damage in Thursday’s follow whereas in press protection with a receiver.

“Dez is a passionate guy and he loves football”, Garrett said. Sometimes there are manifestations of that.

“That’s not what happened”. We don’t want to take the Dez out of Dez, though.

But Dallas does plan to keep Dez out of Saturday’s practice.
