Bruce Carter injury: Cowboys’ LB will need season-ending elbow surgery, according to report
The Dallas Cowboys will likely be without linebacker Bruce Carter after he dislocated his elbow during Thursday’s loss to the Washington Redskins. The Cowboys are already playing without inside linebacker Sean Lee.
Tim Heitman-US PRESSWIRE
Carter was injured in the fourth quarter while making a tackle. He immediately went to the locker room and didn't return to the game. The Cowboys are already down linebacker Sean Lee, which means back ups Dan Connor and Ernie Sims will start as inside linebackers moving forward.
The Cowboys narrowly lost to the Redskins 38-31 Thursday after falling behind 28-3 in the first half. Tony Romo threw for 441 yards in the game, most of those coming in the second half. Miles Austin also suffered a hip strain during the loss. Dallas next plays Philadelphia on Sunday, Dec. 2.
