Cowboys LB Ware went to hospital with sprained neck

The Dallas Cowboys lost Sunday’s game to the San Diego Chargers 20-17, and they may lose a key defensive player for the rest of the season, too, as linebacker DeMarcus Ware was sent to hospital with sprained neck.

Ware sustained the injury when he slammed headfirst into a lineman in San Diego Chargers jersey early in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys’ 20-17 loss. He was immobilized on a stretcher and carted off the field after several anxious moments, but was “aware and alert with full movement and strength in his extremities” when he was taken off the field. The linebacker was transported to the hospital for X-rays and further evaluation.

When he was taking off the field, he was still hoping that the Cowboys would win the game. He gave thumbs-up and flashed a “W” with his fingers as well as talked to people around him. However, the Cowboys eventually lost the game to Chargers.

Cowboys tackle Adams may be fined again for foul playing

The NFL is now reviewing what happened between the Dallas Cowboys tackle Flozell Adams and New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck to decide whether to give Adams fine or even suspension.

Video clearly shows Adams shoving Tuck in the back at the end of the first half in New York’s 31-24 victory Sunday when there was a small melee between players wearing both teams’ NFL jerseys on the New York sideline. Adams was given a personal foul penalty but no yardage was marked off against Dallas at the start of the second half.

It seemed that there is something wrong with the co-existence of Adams and Tuck this season. In Week 2, Adams also had some trouble with Tuck and was fined by the league $12, 500.

Cowboys LT Adams was fined for the third straight week

After paying $5,000 for an unnecessary roughness penalty in the opener and $12,500 for two plays against the New York Giants, the Dallas Cowboys left tackle Flozell Adams received the third fine from the league yesterday, this time for kicking at Carolina Panthers defensive end Julius Peppers.

Adams will have to pay $7,500 this time. Another Cowboys was fined $5,000-running back Felix Jones received the penalty for an attempted leg whip. Not sure whether they kicked and whipped intentionally. But Coach Wade Phillips said Wednesday that Adams just wanted to protect the quarterbacks and Jones did not trip opponent players on purpose.

On Wednesday, Cowboys starting running back Marion Barber was limited in practice. Defensive end DeMarcus ware took full part in workout but was still on the team’s injury report because of a neck problem. Jones skipped the whole practice with strained ligament in left knee.
