Cowboys second year cornerback Mike Jenkins injured his right ankle when his leg twisted after his foot was stepped on and pinned down during team drills this morning. The Cowboys are awaiting MRI results, but owner/general manager Jerry Jones said Jenkins could have a high ankle sprain. That injury typically sidelines a player for three to six weeks. "I'm hoping for the best," Jones said, "but we're worried about it." Source: Dallas Morning News
This hurts our depth and it will slow his progress. On the good side Scandrick has been outplaying him again. Dallas will need someone else to step up or they might have to go out and sign someone.
Word is high ankle sprain, which is not good, but not catastrophic either. He should be out all of preseason and maybe a couple regular season games. It also tends to linger, so Scan will probobly be the starter all season with Jenkins in the Nickle **********Automerged Doublepost********** Doesnt sound good **********Automerged Doublepost********** Lower Ankle sprain.....not ruled out for first preseason game
