The Cowboys' defense suffered another serious blow on Saturday night.
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports linebacker Anthony Hitchens suffered a tibial plateau fracture in his right knee and will be sidelined eight weeks, per a source informed of the situation. The news is better than previously expected as it was thought to be a season-ending injury.
The Cowboys do have some insurance with Hitchens sidelined for significant time, listing veteran linebacker Justin Durant behind Hitchens in the two-deep. Durant didn't play Saturday but is expected to be ready to play in Week 1. There's also the presence of Jaylon Smith, who continues his long road back from a major knee injury suffered in January 2016. Dallas likely won't change Smith's course out of necessity, though.

Dallas re-signed Durant last season after the linebacker's stint in Atlanta, and retained him going into 2017 for these types of situations. How much the Cowboys will have to lean on the veteran remains to be seen as we await the medical evaluation of Hitchens.

Jerry Jones donates $1 million to Harvey relief efforts

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ It only makes sense  Dez Bryant  would be the one to  receive  news of the  Dallas Cowboys ' generous donation for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. The  Cowboys  held a Salvation Army telethon Thursday at AT&T Stadium to raise money for people affected by the hurricane, and owner Jerry Jones called in to make his donation of $1 million. The person on the other side of the phone:  Dez Bryant . "I thought I was setting Dez up, but he set me up on the conversation, which he's pretty good at doing," Jones told NFL Network's Jane Slater. "Dez likes to get involved in his own business. We've had a couple negations over the years. It was a lot of fun. I'm so rewarded to see these players that understand how they're helping people with their interest and celebrity." The  Cowboys  and the Jon...

Steelers' Martavis Bryant cleared for regular season

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store  please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ Martavis Bryant  is officially back. The  Steelers  wide receiver has been cleared for regular-season practices and games, the NFL announced Friday in a statement. Bryant was conditionally reinstated in April after missing the entire 2016 campaign for a violation of the league's policy on substances of abuse. In August, the NFL announced that the third-year pass-catcher was permitted to participate in all preseason activities, including practices and games. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported last month that Bryant was required by the league to continue attending mandatory counseling sessions in order to gain full reinstatement for the regular season. Bryant clearly checked that box, leaving Pittsburgh with full use of a player who has emerged as one of football's most dangerous red-zone weapons. As fello...

Browns release quarterback Brock Osweiler

I am factory,wholesale NFL NHL MLB NBA NCAA Soccer jerseys this is my store  please contact me any time  http://www.fanatiquesmaillot.com/ It's over for  Brock Osweiler  in Cleveland. In a move that comes as little surprise, the  Browns  have released the veteran quarterback they traded for in March as part of an unusual deal with the  Texans , a source informed of the move told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Going from a featured starter during the preseason to an exiled ghost, Osweiler didn't even see the field in Cleveland's final two preseason bouts as the team explored trade options until the end. Set to make a whopping $16 million guaranteed this season, Osweiler was rough-and-tumble trade bait from the start. After all, the cap-rich  Browns  only swapped for the signal-caller and his massive salary as a way to acquire Houston's 2018 second-round draft pick -- an ultra-rare NFL deal th...
