Cowboys looking at options if CB Newman's injury lingers
Associated Press - August 28, 2007 6:45 PM ET
IRVING, Texas (AP) - The Dallas Cowboys are wary about how their revamped defense will handle an injury to their best cornerback Terence Newman.
Dallas is already are without 1 of its best pass rushers.
The status of Greg Ellis remains a mystery, except that he likely won't be around for a while as he recovers from a torn Achilles' tendon.
But the Cowboys have been bracing for it since draft day when they made linebacker Anthony Spencer their top pick.
Filling in for Newman isn't as simple.
Anthony Henry takes over that title until Newman returns from a slight tear in the tissue that runs across the base of his foot.
He's missed the last two preseason games and will skip the preseason finale Thursday night against Minnesota.
While Newman hopes to be back for the opener September 9th against the New York Giants, he said Monday he can't plant his foot.
