It could’ve been worse. It could’ve been a lot worse. When Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones was pushed out of bounds after a 40-yard run against the Carolina Panthers last night, the extent of the injury that forced him to the sideline and onto an exercise bike for the rest of the game was unknown. After undergoing an MRI today, it was determined that Felix won’t need surgery. He’ll just need a little rest and relaxation. And rehab.

OK, so that’s the good news. The bad news is one of the National Football League’s best playmakers (with a gaudy 10.1 ypc average) will be out of action for an undetermined amount of time. And for a Dallas Cowboys ground game that ranks first in the league with 581 yards, it’s a devastating loss. Especially when you consider the health of their top running back—Marion Barber—who missed the Carolina game with a quad injury. That leaves second-year RB Tashard Choice as the go-to guy until Felix and Marion are back at full strength.
