Several networks are reporting Dez broke a bone in his foot.

Yep, needs surgery. Out 3-6 weeks.

Gregory is going to miss some times too, reportedly has bad high ankle sprain.

Amazing win. Would trade a loss for healthy players of their level. Particularly Dez.

Reggie Wayne. Wes Welker. Hakeem Nicks. Denarius Moore. Donnie Avery. Robert Meachum.

All available. Wayne. Welker. Moore know the offense.

Get Wayne.

I'd be all for signing Wayne.

Seems like Romo would do well with a veteran like Wayne (runs great routes, high trustability factor)

As far as renting a pass rusher, doubt there's much out there. Shaun Phillips? Dwight Freeney? Ravens will be in the market for one too with Suggs done for the year.

I'd just roll with the slop they already have in Williams/Beasley/Street.

Williams has no hands, Beasley can't keep from fumbling, street is just garbage, but Romo loves being able to know the players he's throwing to.

I think Wayne would be a 1-2 catch a game waste of space.

Saw on the Zone that Wilcox broke his nose when he hit Odell Beckham, Jr. Supposedly, Beckham said that was the hardest he had ever been hit.

Thought I read Lavar Edwards was let go by Raiders

Some names we could consider at WR....

AJ Jenkins ..he was close to making the team.

Vince Mayle ..ultra-athletic WR on the Practice Squad.

Reggie Wayne ..Week 2 so contract not guaranteed for the year.

Ryan Broyles ..only 27, he was Lions Rookie of the Year in 2012 with Linehan calling the plays. Also, same deal as Wayne; contract no longer guaranteed for year.

We won the game without Dez, pretty much. Why do we need to bring in a ringer? Next man up!

Devin Street? Lucky Whitehead?


Smart teams make moves, they don't sit around and hope for the best. Will McClay earns his money here.

You can’t just bring in someone off the streets and plug them in. They will need time to learn the playbook and get on the same page with Romo. Too late in the game for that. You are going all in with the receivers you have. I would think they would give AJ Jenkins a chance. I thought the kids showed something in the preseason.

Street just has that deer in the headlights look. They have to get his confidence up. Some simple plays, get him involved early. No doubt about it, it’s a massive drop off from Bryant to Street. Although the Cowboy have been playing without Bryant since mini-camp, so they are used to it. I do think Williams seems to step his game up when he is the #1 receiver.

Also, with Bryant out, this will slow down the hype around team. Pretty sure they will think the Cowboys are dead in the water with him out.

It's sounding more and more like it's going to be at least 6 weeks for Dez, and possibly more.

Good post. I would like for them to bring up Mayle, just to get a look at him. I think we will rely more on the TEs and Beasley though.

This offense is in big trouble without Dez.

Well according to Dooms the Cowboys will be harder to game plan against without Dez. I didn’t particularly agree with that opinion a few months ago, but imma have to go with that logic this week, lol.
