The Dallas Cowboys worst nightmare is now a reality. Free agent acquisition James Washington suffered a serious injury during Monday’s practice.
According to multiple reports, Washington fractured his foot during training camp on Monday afternoon.
Initial timetables suggest Washington will miss at least six weeks and could miss as many as 10 weeks.
A terrible setback for both Washington and the Cowboys offense.
“#Cowboys WR James Washington fractured his right foot in practice today and will undergo surgery. He is expected to miss 6 to 10 weeks. With a lack of depth at the WR position, Dallas could turn to veteran Noah Brown. (Rookies Jalen Tolbert and KaVontae Turpin at home.),” wrote Kayla Burton.
“The Cowboys will be without WR James Washington for 6-10 weeks due to a fractured right foot suffered Monday, according to multiple sources. He is scheduled to undergo surgery Tuesday in Dallas,” Todd Archer said.
Here’s the play where James Washington’s injury appeared to occur.
“Cowboys WR James Washington is injured, not putting weight on right leg after game,” Michael Gehlken said.
We hope Washington recovers soon. First, it looks like the former Pittsburgh Steelers tight end will undergo surgery to repair his broken foot.
