Cowboys veteran linebacker Leighton Vander Esch will miss the rest of the season with a neck injury that has put his career in jeopardy, according to the Dallas Morning News. Team owner Jerry Jones discussed the injury during his radio spot Tuesday morning.
“He’s an integral part of that defense out there,” Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Tuesday. “We just wish him well, and just the nature of his potential injury here causes me to really think longer term and beyond what that means for next week or beyond what it means for next month. It has everything to do with what’s in his best interest.”
When asked whether Vander Esch will be able to play again, Jones responded, “I don’t know.”
