The Dallas Cowboys lost Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers at 7-17, with starting right tackle Marc Colombo leaving in the second drive of the first quarter because of a broken left leg.
Colombo was injured when defensive tackle Johnny Jolly wearing Packers jersey rolled up on the back of his leg in an attempt to block running back Marion Barber. After being taken immediately for X-rays, he did not return to field and the team announced in the second quarter he had a broken left fibula. And head coach Wade Phillips said the player would need to have surgery on Monday.
“He’s not necessarily out for the season. That remains to be seen,” Phillips said.
So it is still hopefully that Colombo will still be able to start for the Cowboys for the rest of the season. Being picked by the Bears in 2002 in first round, Colombo has been a stalwart on the Cowboys’ offensive line and started every game since 2006. But it is doubtful whether he will keep the string as the surgery may hold him out for a few weeks.
