X-rays negative on Roy Williams' shoulder and collarbone

Quincy just told me…let’s hope the MRI doesn’t reveal anything further, and that he’s back in the lineup by week 3, if not week 1.

From PFT:

“UPDATE: Another source tells us that the X-rays were negative. Our original source insists that it’s a break, and that Williams will miss 6-8 weeks.

SECOND UPDATE: Williams told multiple players it was broken. X-rays reveal otherwise. MRI coming tomorrow. Sorry for the confusion. It’s one of the hazards of real-time reporting, and it’s one we’d like to avoid."

So I’m not exhaling yet….let’s hope for a sprain….

hate to think the season is over before it begins

to get through first couple games w/o him…but we’ll see.

….I think our options are Ike Hilliard or ride with what we’ve got….move Crayton to the outside and put Hilliard in the slot.

Matt Jones won’t know this offense and Roy’s role. Picture Roy when he arrived mid-last season and you get the idea.

4-6 weeks for recovery on a broken clavicle, but I’d worry it would still be fragile and he could rebreak it, like RW1’s forearm last year…

way to make me stress out within 2 minutes of getting on the computer!

Now I bet “experts” will now predict the Cowboys go 3-13. Book it.

one of the great things about fan posts is we get instant updates and discussion without having to wait for the main page to break news.

one of the drawbacks of fanposts is that we get 4 posts in short succession on the same topic, just slightly updating the same story lol. pushing other good fanposts off the list and splitting up the discussion of the same topic into multiple threads.

not to be the fanpost police here, and it’s ways too late anyway lol, but my suggestion would be to try to keep the discussion to one fanpost, check to see if it’s already been posted and then post updates there, and hopefully the originally poster can update the main post as the news breaks, instead of making a new fanpost for every slight progression of the story.

This gets his yearly injury out of the way. If so good job Scandrick!

4 fanposts and a fanshot plus a frontpage story on Roy’s shoulder, I admire the efforts to contribute but it’s kind of going overboard when all the facts have not been confirmed.

But the way Romo is spreading the ball around may show that if he misses a game or two the offense may not struggle like it did when T.O. wasn’t on the field. Williams adds something to the game, but we’d be able to get by for a couple of weeks without him, I think.

But hey, this is all the better!

I’ve done my share of Williams bashing on here, but that’s a huge loss if he’s gone. Nobody wants to see injuries.
