Jason Witten Sprains MCL As Cowboys Enter Their Bye Week

After Sunday's win over the Texans, Cowboys TE Jason Witten had his knee wrapped but told reporters it was nothing serious.

As it turns out, it’s a sprained MCL.

It’s awfully good timing for the Cowboys, who now enter their bye week.

Witten’s practice status is unknown at this point but it’s definitely possible for him to return from a sprained MCL in that time frame.

He stayed in the Cowboys game even after the injury.

Cowboys guard Kyle Kosier won't be so lucky. He tweaked an MCL that caused him to miss Week 1. The early world on him is that he'll be out 3-4 weeks but he says he'll be back after the bye week.

Hop on over to Blogging The Boys to see what Cowboys fans are saying about Jason Witten’s injury.
