Here’s a quick Friday update on some new health issues that have come up for two Cowboys players.
The biggest news involves linebacker Andrew Gachkar, who was in the mix to compete for a starting role this year.
“A few weeks” would get Gachkar back, hopefully, for at least the Cowboys’ last two preseason games. At worst, he should be ready for the regular season. Even if he’s not a starter, Gachkar is a key special teams player.
Also, one of the wide receivers has a new problem:
Many of us don’t feel Street was going to make the team anyway, so this doesn’t create much of a ripple. Still, it gives young players like Ed Eagan and Andy Jones more opportunities to shine.
In case you’re wondering, Ezekiel Elliott remains out with a hamstring issue and should be back sometime next week.
