Cornerback Terence Newman is impossible to play, Dallas Cowboys season opener,
Any decision has been finalized, but Newman has not practiced his strained groin since Aug. 4, after a few days of the corner Nnamdi Asomugha signed with the Philadelphia Eagles selected, rather than the cowboy. Newman’s original timetable for recovery is four to six weeks, which will allow him to return to Sunday night’s game against New York Jets.
Coach Jason Garrett admitted Monday, Newman’s status is uncertain, he said, he needs to see the corner of the practice of veteran rivals feel comfortable jet Newman.
“He practices what extent, we do not have any specific rules, but you have to practice,” Garrett said. “We must have a great feeling, before he was ready to play in the game Sunday night’s practice areas.”
Newman, who put 33 (Sunday), missed the season opener in 2008 training camp after suffering a similar injury. He missed the season after five games for the sports hernia, he said at the time of the groin injury is related to surgery.
Newman had a career-best five interception last season, but he played a significant setback after suffering a rib injury. He played every game in 2010 allowed the most points in the NFC defense, but a few games, you need pain relief injections.
Orlando Scandrick, who signed a five-year, $ 27 million contract extension last month, is ready to start Newman’s absence. Alan Ball, who has moved back to the starting free safety after struggling to the corner, will play nickel and DIME package, if Newman.
Mike Jenkins, the other corner, also missed the entire preseason due to a stinger. However, Jenkins has been practicing without contact, and on Monday declared himself ready to play.
