Kosier could be out six weeks

Injury report from Friday night's game.

Left guard Kyle Kosier could miss up to six weeks because of a sprained right foot and hairline fracture. Kosier left Texas Stadium in a walking boot.

Joe Berger is the favorite to take over for Kosier.

Also, wide receiver Isaiah Stanback suffered a dislocated left shoulder on a kickoff. The Cowboys will wait to see how Stanback responds to treatment before determining if he needs surgery.

The biggest blow to the team is Stanback, we doubt he will play on Thursday night against Minnesota, because it cause depth issues at wide receiver

Certainly not the news anyone wanted to hear especially how well this O-line played Friday night. Most hoped it was just  a sprained ankle but he's also got a hairline fracture. I guess Joe berger has to step up in his absence. You may see now just how valuable Kosier is on this offensive line.

Stanback, on the other hand may be lost for the year with another shoulder surgery, depending on how he takes to treatment. If the club suggests surgery, Stanback will surely be placed on IR. We are certainly getting thin at the receiver position, cant afford any  injuries to the starters.

I'm sure Wade Phillips will bring up Stanbacks injury to justify his reasoning for NOT putting Felix Jones back there on kick returns.
