DMN Blog: Kosier out six weeks, Stanback hurt too

by Calvin Watkins

Injury report from Friday night's game.

Left guard Kyle Kosier could miss up to six weeks because of a sprained right foot and hairline fracture. Kosier left Texas Stadium in a walking boot.

Joe Berger is the favorite to take over for Kosier.

Also, wide receiver Isaiah Stanback suffered a dislocated left shoulder on a kickoff. The Cowboys will wait to see how Stanback responds to treatment before determining if he needs surgery.

The biggest blow to the team is Stanback, we doubt he will play on Thursday night against Minnesota, because it cause depth issues at wide receiver.

With Stanback out, it puts pressure on Mike Jefferson and Danny Amendola to do some things next week. It might be their last chance to make the team.

If you think the Cowboys should get a wide receiver, hold up. The team is still looking at its younger receivers before making a decision on that right now.
