Still hard to tell what exactly was injured or how severely, but defensive end Marcus Dixon just made his way to the locker room with head trainer Jim Maurer.
Dixon, who spent last season on the practice squad, had been fighting for a job as a backup in the Cowboys' 3-4 front. Coaches had mentioned his name as one of the most improved players of the off-season after he transformed his body, slimming down to a more athletic shape.
With the offense and defense running an 11-on-11 drill near the goal line, Dixon went down and remained on his stomach. He moved gingerly off the field with help from Maurer and a member of the team's equipment staff.
The 24-year-old had been running as the third-team left end.
