Jason Witten Injury: Cowboys TE To Meet With Doctor Tuesday, Return Uncertain
When asked about his status, Witten was equivocal:
“Still, there’s a lot of uncertainty out there right now for me,” Witten said. “Again, just got to let it heal up. I’m sure we’ll evaluate it next week, see where we’re at and go from there.”
Witten hopes to return in time for the Cowboys' season opener against the New York Giants on Sept. 5, but his return at this time is far from certain.
