Feared Doug has partially torn MCL

Considering the other knee is also a bad knee....I gotta think 4-6 weeks minimum, but admit that is a WAG obviously.

Let's see if Lockett can earn his money now.

That was my guess too, about 6 weeks. Wonder if they'll bring up Reynolds, or maybe McKissic is close enough they give the spot to him?

Grrrrreeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaat!

Whenever you hear the word “torn” and it involves a knee, you know they’re not playing anytime soon. Our best WR. Just friggin great. I hope Marshall can show these other guys how to step the hell up.

Do the surgery and fix it now. No point in making it worse so he can play this year.

Marshall looked fantastic last game, I think he can be a good fill in for Doug, though his style is quite different. I hope Wilson throws to him in one on one coverage even if he doesn't have clear separation. That is the kind of play that Marshall has made a living off of. Marshall is also very good at getting YAC.

Call Dez Bryant?

Sorry to hear about Doug. I could be mistaken but I believe I saw somewhere that McKissic can't return until after the 8th game so he's not an option. :sarcasm_on: Amara Darboh and D. Stringfellow are available :sarcasm_off: It's time for David Moore to step up.

Seems to me that if often happens that when one knee is damaged, that the other knee gets more stress and can be prone to injury, especially if they rush the rehab on the first one.

Tough break for Doug, and a big blow to the offense. We already have somebody, I think, who they consider on the 8 week list to come back from IR, so this makes the decision on ADB a bit more complicated.

I would bring up Reynolds if DB is going to be out 6 plus weeks. He had a lot of the same instincts as DB in preseason.

Agreed. Baldwin has been the offensive side leader for the last couple years at a time when that was not an easy thing to do. I am a huge Baldwin fan. Guy has developed into a premier receiver. (No, I don't point to Wilson as the leader. Never have.)

Losing him spells further doom for the season. Hoping others will step up.

Marshall, No E, and Jaron need to step it up. Definitely Reynolds is who I would call up if I was running the show.

Free agent Jordan Matthews is expected to be healthy by October, if not sooner. Wonder if they sign him for the vet minimum as insurance for Baldwin for the rest of the season, unless Keenan Reynolds is ready to step up...

Jeremy Maclin is out there too.

we play Dallas in two weeks, calling Dez Bryant...

He will be cut next season.
