Dallas Cowboys RUMORS: Orlando Scandrick Likely Tore ACL?

After Scandrick and Whitehead collided, it was apparently obvious to Cowboys players that he suffered a serious injury, with Dallas QB Tony Romo taking to Twitter to say that he fears it was a torn ACL.

Dallas cornerback Orlando Scandrick left practice at training camp with what he told his secondary coach he believed was a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

Scandrick was reportedly very emotional as he was being carted off the field. It’s 32s knee. Not good.

The Cowboys can ill-afford to lose Scandrick, who is easily their best corner. His abilities in coverage were a big reason why Dallas overachieved on defense past year .

Below, I’ve collected some of those tweets about Scandrick’s injury from his teammates, the media, and fans.

The Cowboys have depth at the position, with Brandon Carr available as the other cornerback starter and players like rookie Byron Jones, a healthy Mo Claiborne and backups Tyler Patmon and Corey White on the roster.

Morris Claiborne on Orlando Scandrick: “Just sitting there looking at him and holding his hand, and he’s squeezing”. In his career, he has seven interceptions.
