Tight end wasn't the only position that got slammed by injuries last night.
Cornerbacks Cletis Gordon and Bryan McCann got knocked out of the game. Since the Cowboys weren't going to put starters Mike Jenkins and Terence Newman back in, they had to use Orlando Scandrick as the nickel cornerback the entire game.
That's the same Orlando Scandrick who is playing with a finger he fractured during the off-season.
The Cowboys were so depleted at the position that sprinter Teddy Williams, who wasn't expected to play in the secondary, played most of the fourth quarter.
"I was going to have to suit up next,'' secondary coach Dave Campo said. "If we had one more go down, I was it.''
