Dallas Cowboys Injuries: More To Come?

Let's see: First it was Terence Newman, though he has now returned. Then it was Miles Austin, then Isaiah Stanback, now Kyle Kosier.

First of all, let's hope this doesn't become a trend. When the staffers carrying the stretchers start to need the stretcher themselves because of exhaustion, the potential for a Wade Phillips & Jerry Jones migraine exists.

Second, while Austin and Stanback are not starters, Kosier is. True, he didn't make the Pro Bowl last season, but his contribution beside those that did is not insignificant. The crucial factor with his injury is his replacement, who currently seems to be Bill Parcells pick Pat McQuistan. (If you'll remember, Parcells liked McQuistan because he had a mean streak in him. We'll see.) This is only one injury but we will finally begin to see just how deep this Offensive Line is.

Hopefully, we don't have to find out in other offensive areas.
