Mike Jenkins Injured at Practice

Print[UPDATE]: Timmy Mac says they are speculating that it's a high ankle sprain when his foot was stepped on during drills. Here's the latest:
The Cowboys are awaiting MRI results, but owner/general manager Jerry Jones said Jenkins could have a high ankle sprain. That injury typically sidelines a player for three to six weeks.
"I'm hoping for the best," Jones said, "but we're worried about it."
Raf just called to tell me that at the end of practice CB Mike Jenkins injured some part of his lower leg. He couldn't tell exactly whether it was a knee or an ankle. Jenkins left practice on a cart and couldn't put any weight on the leg. Raf didn't see the actual injury happen so he really can't speculate on it.
We'll keep tracking the story. The only other mention I've seen so far is this report from DC.com which says basically the same thing Raf told me.

According to DallasCowboys.com
the MRI revealed it was just a regular ankle sprain, not a high ankle sprain.
Dodged that bullet, hope there aren’t anymore.
thanks
am proceeding to back off ledge.

Paging Adam Jones...Adam Jones, you have a telephone call at the front desk.
Just kidding.

You beat me to it.
I’d cry if they resigned him, then I’d become a Texan’s fan.

this is off topic but...
Bennent looks like a STUD…Made a great one handed catch for a Td ,, he was doubled covered as well…The young kid phillips also looks good and no doubt will be the 3rd Te..

looks like you'll be the opening day starter
which I think is a good thing, you’re better than Jenkins
In Romo we Trust
ty I agree
But while I plan to start when teams go 3 wide I play the slot…So if jenks does not retun soon it will affect us against those formations
not really
You start and then just cover the slot WR in the nickel when jenkins comes back
In Romo we Trust
No, he's not
Jenkins was looking very good — and deserving — of that starter spot.
we'll see
when it’s all said and done, Scandrick will be considered better, even by you.

Jenkins looks very good
and if Scandrick plays better than him, I won’t complain. It would be a nice problem to have.
God I love these absolute comments.

No pleasure involved..

You might find him at church
praying our cornerbacks get injured.

Unfortunately
Our trainers seem to be way too optimistic in forecasting recovery time. How many 3-4 week injuries became 8-12 week nagging injuries last year?

Jenkins should be back by opening day
nothing to be concerned about, one of the other youngins, like Ball, will just have to step up.

Jenkins could use the reps, but it's never a bad thing to give these other guys more reps.
Doomsday returns... Wade Phillips style.
It is interesting but i thought Pacman would be on ESPN today singing.....
Welcome Back Welcome Back Welcome Back…otherwise he probably is already making it rain somewhere because this was what he was waiting for i gove it a week welcome back Pacman is all i have to say
And trust me no matter what any of you nay sayers say it would be a good thing....
He is a competitor and a better player (And the best corner we had last year statistically wise) than anyone
His play was good on the field
but allegedly he freelanced more than the team wanted him to. I don’t think he was better than Scandrick last season and I think Jenkins has been catching up. If they can get by without the media circus that comes with Pacman, I’d prefer he stay gone. And if they bring him back, I’m OK with that too.
Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig loves it.
link?
MRI isn’t back yet is it?
